+Admin Page: **Site Setup > Cache**
 The Geo Cache system will cache data, and module output, in cache files.  Using the cache system will greatly reduce the amount of data that is retrieved from the database, resulting in faster page loads and less strain on the database server.

   * The amount of time something is cached for depends on the nature of that thing.  For example, the "featured listings" module display is cached for 5 minutes since it is always changing, but the "category navigation" modules are cached for a full 30 minutes.

+    * If you update, you will need to turn the cache off before the update starts, and turn it back on afterwards.  Or just clear the cache after the fact if you forgot to do that.  Note that this is part of the standard update instructions.
