[quote="CodeConfused"]thanks daemonj.

so another way to think about it would be that the cache will help with the visitor's first impression, by presenting a faster experience on the first few pages, until they do something that triggers the SID to get added to the URL...[/quote]
That is correct.

[quote="CodeConfused"]i'm wondering if one could rewrite the cache function to work with SIDs, and how much work it would be? or is that impossible for some logics reasons?[/quote]
Not likely since the session id is appended to every link.

It would be better to delay the user from logging in until necessary (e.g. checking out) by removing the option to login from the main page and other areas.

[quote="CodeConfused"]which SID Killer would you recommend for best "cooperation" with the cache?[/quote]
I cannot help with this one as I am not familiar with all of the SID killers and how they work.  I use the spider session killer from Burt and remove the extra login options.  I did keep the option in the navigation bar for returning user's to access their accounts since most new users would not click there on their first visit.
