It should be fairly easy to add a caching layer, but I wouldn't do it inside gitweb itself - it gets too mixed up. It would be better to have it as a separate front-end, that just calls gitweb for anything it doesn't find in the cache.

I could write a simple C caching thing that just hashes the CGI arguments and uses a hash to create a cache (and proper lock-files etc to serialize access to a particular cache object while it's being created) fairly easily, but I'm pretty sure people would much prefer a mod_perl thing just to avoid the fork/exec overhead with Apache (I think mod_perl allows Apache to run perl scripts without it), and that means I'm not the right person any more.

Not that I'm the right person anyway, since I don't have a web server set 
up on my machine to even test with ;)
