For truely unique fetches it will not have much use. Disk cache would be
a negative due to latency. RAM cache would be not adding benefit, but a
small (few MB) amount would not be reducing performance either.

For other benefits, you get caching for any unplanned non-unique
requests. eg. DoS events or changes in the applicaton design.

Its also an early indicator of design problems. If your unique files
cannot cope with a cache existing in their pathway something is terribly
wrong with the headers being output by the server.
