For a futre enhancement of LyX, it might also be worth adding .bib, .aux, and other such files between sessions. As others have pointed out, caching of these files might greatly improve the compilation time between sessions. And as most of them are text based, it would not greatly add to the size of the cache.
While I'm thinking about it, allowing the user to specify a custom location for the LyX cache might also be a very nice feature to have.
