 * I gave w3 total cache a try on my machine and there doesn’t seem to be any conflicts.
 * I’m not sure what exactly w3tc is doing but HungryFEED only writes to the /wp-
   content/cache folder (even if w3tc is installed) it doesn’t write to any other
   folders.
 * what i might try is just delete everything in the objectcache folder and let 
   w3tc re-create all of the folders that it wants. it shouldn’t hurt anything to
   clear the cache.
 * you can also go into the settings for w3tc and disable the object cache to see
   if that is the problem.
