good question ... the admin setting you mention is for the *page cache*, 
not for caching in general. If the admin UI makes this unclear, the UI 
should be improved. There is no way to disable the menu cache, nor many 
other forms of caching in drupal. When doing development like this, 
consider activating devel.module (see Contrib) which offers a handy 
'clear cache' link among other things.
