Anyways, I wanted to try and feel out how many people really like/use those "edit" links which show up on their weblog when they are logged in. I have never used them so I wouldn't care much if they were gone.
I really like the edit links on the page and the especially the editor-menu which appears when I'm logged in. I'd hate to lose that feature and I don't think it's hard to have a special cache for logged-in user pages (since we do that now) or just leave them out of the cache.
I don' think logged-in-user-pages filling up the cache is that big of an issue at all. They only get cache if the user browses his own blog, generally users don't do that very often and when then do they don't generally visit every page. So, they don't double the cache as you suggest.
I do think there are things we can do to limit the number of pages that we render for each blog. For example, we render a unique page view for every day (via the the /page/user/YYYYMMDD URLs) and for every entry (when viewed by permalink). If we could find a better way to structure our views of past posts, we could save lots of memory and bandwidth.
