It should be fairly easy to add a caching layer, but I wouldn't do it 
inside gitweb itself - it gets too mixed up. It would be better to have 
it as a separate front-end, that just calls gitweb for anything it doesn't 
find in the cache.

I could write a simple C caching thing that just hashes the CGI arguments 
and uses a hash to create a cache (and proper lock-files etc to serialize 
access to a particular cache object while it's being created) fairly 
easily, but I'm pretty sure people would much prefer a mod_perl thing just 
to avoid the fork/exec overhead with Apache (I think mod_perl allows 
Apache to run perl scripts without it), and that means I'm not the right 
person any more.

Not that I'm the right person anyway, since I don't have a web server set 
up on my machine to even test with ;)
