 * First – Great plugin! Thank you.
 * Occasionally BWP-Minify’s cache-ing completely stops working, bringing my server
   to its knees – Likely its related to permissions settings of the cache directory
   on my server. BWP Minify cannot write to its cache directory unless the cache
   directory is CHMOD’ed to 777 (I get the warning: “Please try CHMOD your cache
   directory to 755. If you still see this warning, CHMOD to 777.” unless its 777.)
   Because I don’t want to leave any directories CHMOD’ed 777, I do a cache flush
   manually when I update any theme or plugin files. But occasionally it seems like
   it will inexplicably stop cache-ing, even with some valid files in the cache 
   directory (all the files get downloaded fine, but nothing is cached, so server
   load goes nuts). Seems like it shouldn’t need to be 777, (wp supercache is saving
   files fine to a folder which is 755, same owner and group as bwp minify cache
   dir…) … Any thoughts appreciated 🙂
