Ross,
> Memcached is a PG memory store, I gather,
Nope. It's a hyperfast resident-in-memory hash that allows you to stash stuff
like user session information and even materialized query set results.
Thanks to SeanC, we even have a plugin, pgmemcached.

No. These are all related to making the web server do more. The idea is
NOT to hit the database every time you have to serve up a web page, and
possibly not to hit the web server either. For example, you can use squid 3
for "reverse" caching in front of your web server, and serve far more page
views than you could with Apache alone.
