Caching

@TODO: Zend_Cache caches a list of "hot" topics OR statistics OR possibly other commonly shown statistics (number of posts / "status" of the poster of each post). Idea is to avoid implementing a bazillion lines of code, so whatever works well with Zend_Db_Select to yield results that should logically be cached.

Performance Tips and Suggestions

1. Runtime Optimizations
   1. Use require and require_once, unless Zend::loadClass() is needed, such as when working with variables containing the name of the class to load.
2. Installation Tips
   1. Use Zend_Controller_Front::getBaseUrl() to determine the right base URL, and then hard-wire your application to that base URL using setBaseUrl() to avoid the per-request processing overhead.
