All the foreign tables should be cached indefinately. There are only a couple rows in each. Is a way for hibernate to, when loading PanelDemographics, the sql generated would just select the id's of the foreign tables, then grab the objects from the cache.
Absolutely. Enable JCS on the associated classes, and set outer-join="false" on the association.
