Indeed, caching rocks. I think you're referring to PHP opcode caching rather than HTTP caching described here? There might be other non-monetary reasons that PHP doesn't cache opcode out of the box. Many shared hosts do not run any of the mature and free opcode cachers out there because memory can be a bigger bottle-neck for them than CPU load I hear. Opcode caching sacrifices memory to save CPU cycles. One of PHP's biggest strength is that it "just works" in almost any environment, and opcode caching would change that. Can't wait till I get a VPS so I can run my own opcode cache. :) Thanks, Adam. Indeed, caching rocks.

I use caching in my code and it speeds up PHP by at least 500 times. Why PHP doesn't have innate caching I don't... in fact, I do, because otherwise sales for their Zend Accelerator would be non-existant. A great list of cacheable tutorials.
