r83140[0] added a visible error for this. Before that, I suppose MediaWiki was just silently not doing any object caching for you. Excessively graceful fallback behavior, perhaps. :-)
Thanks for the note. No wonder the site seemed a bit slower.
I've installed APC and all is well again. Its initial memory setting (32M) produced wretched performance (70% cache misses), but increasing it to 64M worked wonders (99% cache hits).
