Now *that* is a cool trick.
Don't know if it helps in my case though... first i'd have to get our
sysadmin to agree to add squid to our already-complex system.
and caching might not help that much: typical usage for us is that each 
file is rarely accessed but when the system is busy, several
different files are sometimes requested at the same time and the server
crawls.
