Hi AD7six I hadn't thought about using data stored in a session. That would be useful.
I have just used the suggestion in this thread to use requestAction(). I put it in the view rather than in an element and it works fine. The page request time is about half what it would be without caching, so I think that I am getting at least 50% of the benefit of caching. I am going to clean up the appController code a bit which should also improve performance for the requestAction(). I am starting to get a feel for how to use view caching and <cake:nocache>. It really requires (for complex pages) that you plan in the view caching from the start.
