I understand this makes caching more difficult, but did anyone ever do 
measurements? Without decent metrics this is just wild guessing.
Things to measure for example:
* Total text requests for all sites
* Total text requests for just Commons
* Total misses for all sites
* Total misses for just Commons

I'm sure someone can dig up these metrics. Worst case all text requests 
for Commons go to the backend directly, right?
