For a high-traffic setup like kernel.org, you can setup a local
reverse proxy -- it's a pretty standard practice. That allows you to
control a well-behaved and locally tuned caching engine just by
emitting good headers.

It beats writing and maintaining an internal caching mechanism for
each CGI script out there by a long mile. It means there'll be no
further tunables or complexity for administrators of other gitweb
installs.

cheers,
