Hm, I've just tested this, and with gnus-use-cache set
to 'passive, Gnus does *not* cache articles that I tick
with '!'. It may well be, as always, that I have
something in my .gnus.el that prevents this :-) But it
is also in line with the docs
(http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_42.html):

So only 'articles ticked or marked as dormant' are
copied to the cache, not all articles.
