Image Caching, when to update?

If that's the case, that you don't want image caching built into mapserver,
maybe we need a component in the overall system, between mapserver and the
WMS interface to deal with the issues of caching geographical imagery.

Even if you don't do image caching, I believe caching of some things
internally would be beneficial in mapserver so it can run faster. If
mapserver was fast enough, I wouldn't even have to worry about image
caching.

I'm just trying to brainstorm here where this image caching system should go
and how it should work.
