Since it is only really static content, and provided that when a given
element changes, its URI changes, you should definitely look at
mod_expires:
ExpiresActive On
<Location /some/static/URI/base>
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month" # or more
Header append Cache-Control "private" # this tells that the proxy
won't cache, but the final client will
</Location>
You don't even need disk-based caching. The OS' pagecache will largely
fill the "need for speed".
