The general idea was to relieve MediaWiki from generating dynamic pages
all over again to free server resources for other tasks. I've never
thought I'd need something like APC for my (small) site, but I'll check
this out.
I believe file caching is just for static pages; I don't think it would be
of any help here, but PHP caching should improve things.
You might also want to check Apache's logs: Is Googlebot actually hitting
your site an inordinate number of times, or is your site just choking on
requests to a few particular pages?
