That's a sensible, easy-to-build approach.  It should be faster than the
cache plugin I wrote, since it won't need to check expiration times (or
use the fairly slow Cache::Cache modules).

If you want to go for the gold star, you can use the mtime from your
inserted file as the Last-Modified header on the page and make your app
handle If-Modified-Since requests.
