I don't know what you're talking about, the CookieCrumbler has  
*nothing* to do with caching at all. Are you confusing tools here?  
Could it be you're talking about the CachingPolicyManager?

By the way, the CookieCrumbler doesn't "authenticate", either. It  
just makes cookie data look like regular basic auth headers so that a  
real user folder can use that data.
