Don't forget that reading works differently for logged-in users too.
Even if you try caching only parts of a page (which involves all sorts
of challenges on its own), you're still going to confront the problem
that the site looks different for different users depending on user
preferences and so forth.

To give one example, I have the preference for numbered headings
turned on. Sure, you could cache one version with and one without
numbering, and then check that setting and serve one or the other. But
there are many more preferences, and that's going to be alot more than
two combinations.

Plus is it really going to be more efficient trying to paste together
dozens of different cached components than it is to just render the
page anew?
