I don't know if you have mentioned this, but it isn't an all-or-nothing
situation. For example, the cache could contain only several most viewed
languages. Or, it could be limited in size, with the oldest entries
deleted when the newest are cached. This would ensure that the most
visited pages are the ones that are the most quickly displayed to visitors.
