 * I’ve tested different cache plugin on my blog, i’m using this code to calculate
   the load time:
    `<!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(
   1); ?> seconds. -->`
 * the loading time without a cache plugins is 0.280 second, with a cache plugin
   is the same or worst, i’ve tried W3 Total cache and Hyper cache.
 * how is possible ?

 * Do you get enough traffic to warrant the use of a caching plugin? Typically, 
   caching plugins are for decreasing CPU load, not necessarily for decreasing load
   time.

 * If you only have a few hits a day, I recommend not using a cache plugin. As you
   can see, it does cause your page to load slightly slower, and there’s no need
   to decrease your server load for only a few hits a day.
