Thanks for your reply Andrea.

The "Caching" property seems to be the cause of a previous issue that I 
reported about all of the images being re-read on the initial GetMap of a layer 
after a Tomcat restart. By setting it to false, the re-reads don't occur.

I'm not the expert, but as far as I know:
- Heterogeneous=true enables support for tiles with mixed resolution/crs.
  It adds overhead if the mosaic is really not heterogeneous because we
  have to check each tile resolution and crs before mosaicking it
- caching I'm not sure, but I believe it enables caching in memory metadata
  about the tiles (which means, it gets faster but you have to avoid changing
  the tiles under GeoServer feets)...

Mind I'm not the mosaic plugin writer, so I might have guessed the above wrong

Cheers
Andrea
