It's worth noting that as pipes get bigger and faster, caching
assumes a greater, not lesser, importance. Higher bandwidth
and constant latency means a greater bandwidth-delay product,
and a corresponding degradation in performance. Caching is
just as much about local replication to reduce latency as it is
about "conserving bandwidth."
