There are numerous methods in HTTP to provide support for caching:

  1. Last-Modified header
  2. ETags
  3. max-age

Our data changes almost never, so we could easily provide some very aggressive and particularly accurate caching control, using the mod times of the underlying data files. If we do this, we could provide much better performance and reduce the system load by a ton.
