Nothing of mine. The GeoServer vs. MapServer shootout in South Africa
included a cache section, testing GeoWebCache vs. TileCache; the end result
was that it was impossible to max out a tile serving system when all it 
was doing was serving tiles, because you'd fill up your network pipe
before you ran out of CPU. I don't know if the slides from that 
presentation are available, but they might be helpful if they
were.
