[ZPT] ZPT Speed Tutorial Wanted

[Andy Meier]

I tried adding a cache manager as suggested but it seems to only shave a few 
milliseconds off the rendering time of pages.

I don't think I grok the behavior of the cache.  In the tab that reports 
cache hits and misses, every request was reported as a cache hit (I used the 
default 6 minute interval).  When viewing the page, however, all the dynamic 
sections were still loading the dynamic output (aka: different banners, the 
proper user name, etc.) which makes me think the cache does not work the way 
I expect.

Does the cache cache the output of an object or does it somehow cache the 
object in a way to make it more quickly accessible to the parser?

Thanks for the help!
