I believe another acceptable caching plugin that I've been using for awhile 
now including with 2.5 bleeding is Javier García's "1 Blog Cacher".
It's based on "WP-Cache" by Ricardo Galli and "HTML Cache" by Jiandong. It's 
simple to use and
works well with dynamic content.

Oh, BTW, I'm new here although I've posted a few times already. I should 
have
done this ages ago. Really enjoying myself.
