I figure that's a good compromise on speed and updating frequency. I may not post nearly that often but I still like the page to update fairly quickly. If I ever do get /.'d I can always change that quickly. By the way, isn't this site already loading much faster than the old one? I know it is for me. Martin Marcin,

WP Super Cache will regenerate the cache if there is a new comment or blog post. You can also tell it to "lock," which means new comments don't show up (though they are added to the database). That's only used when you're under really heavy load though -- like StumbleUpon, Reddit, Digg and Slashdot and CNN all at once, lol. Not to mention, your site will load much quicker. Turn it on!!!

I like having the site update instantly, rather than waiting for the cache to refresh. I'm going to activate it if I get /.'d, but otherwise I'll leave it off. Thanks for the suggestion, Martin Marcin,

WP Super Cache will generate a static html file of each page, which even the crappiest of shared hosting providers will survive a slashdotting.
