Is anyone taking a dynamic PHP / MySQL site and storing or cacheing it statically in order for pages to display more quickly when visitors access the site? If so, what solutions are you using to achieve this?
Thanks,

I'm using two-way or two-step caching - I'll try to describe it ;) conditions: - wrote special class for cache handling, updating - using smarty - using turck mmcache
1. step - as the data I'm passing to smarty are only array, I've decided to store this pre-generated array in a file*. - data are refreshed not periodically but only when changed or if they are missing* - in the scrip, where I'm displaying those data, the file is only included *this is done by my caching class
2. step - as I'm using turck mmcache, data file is precompiled into bytecode and held in shared memory.
I've got HUGE improvement in speed and from-time-to-time server loads disappeared. From 0.1s per script I've got to approx 0.005s per script, ofcourse it depends on some other conditions, but generally improvement was huge.
