Comment:

 Although it does work quite well, I'm kind of in agreement with DJPaul
 that widget caching shouldn't be in core.  WP doesn't ship with widget
 caching so why should we?

 > my guess is that caching the theme compat. template parts would be more
 valuable.

 Yes, if we stick to the object cache API.  No, if we use site transients
 (like what is proposed for widget caching above).

 However caching template parts is hard because of the multitude of
 template parts (cache bloat) and the variance of parameters used in each
 template loop (invalidation).

 Anyway, I think I hijacked the original ticket and turned it into a widget
 caching ticket :)

 I would be interested to hear from joesell89 and mpvanwinkle77 to see if
 they are still experiencing problems with the Recently Active Widget on
 the latest version of BP.
