But it still isn't going to give you the snappy response that you'd get from a drupal page that has been cached as a static html page. 

Mike I am interested in seeing how Drupal could deliver static pages through a cache mechanism like http://www.squid-cache.org/.

This seems to be very popular as part of a LAMP stack.

AKA reverse proxy. This is well understood technology with regards to dynamic apps. Most of the configuration is done at the Squid level, which understands the appropriate Apache headers looking at when/if content has changes.

I believe this is a different part of the layer and can be discussed separately.
