[OFBiz] Users - Caching pages from Freemarker

[David Jones]

Generally we don't do this because even on something as seemingly 
simple as a category listing there are a LOT of things that can vary 
per customer. In general with very dynamic sites, which ecommerce sites 
usually are, this approach is taken.

On the performance side, if a two processor Intel based server can do 
20-40 pages per second that is enough for most sites, and most sites 
that need to handle more traffic can usually afford to add a server or 
two to ensure good response times. However, if all of your products 
cost less than $5.00, maybe having less flexibility makes sense... Just 
be careful not to cache anything globally that has per-user 
information, like prices and such, or side bar things like the cart, 
recently viewed lists, quick reorder list, etc, etc.
