Although I have this plugin installed it doesn't seem to be working
properly.. or I am missing something really obvious

The cache manager says it's enabled, but does not list any pages as
being cached, however I can see pages being written to the cache
directory ...

I'm a bit confused by that

That may help me :)

My server hit a load of 50 the other night when MySQL went completely
nuts, so any caching that can improve that would be very welcome
