Template Module Caching

My [1] personal blog seemed to take forever to rebuild, 9 minutes plus for a blog with under 500 entries. Initially I thought it had something to do with the number of plugins I have installed: 49 when you include MT's preinstalled plugins.
Today I tried [2] module caching with some widgets and module templates. Recent Comments, Category Archives and Monthly Archives are cached until a specific event occurs, like when a new entry, comment or category is created. The Banner Footer is cached for a 30-day period. There's nothing in there that changes dynamically so it's safe to set a time limit. Comments will be cached until a new comment is created.
So far, so good. The caches I've set are very basic with no PHP includes but the improvement in rebuild times is dramatic. I've shaved 4 minutes off and now can rebuild the site in just over 5 minutes.
