Yes.

Yup. The code is being changed everyday and the site is not updated as
frequently.

No, not exactly. I believe CompositeCacheManager is used by CacheAccess
and GroupCacheManager by GroupCacheAccess, so you will have to adjust
accordingly (like I said, this is a bit hacky -- a better solution is in
progress).

I still feel that long term group support should be rolled into the
primary cache and there should be only one.

It definitely has strengths =] Still working on the weaknesses.
