Comment(by arma):

 Right. Is there something magic about 3600 seconds?

 Seems to me that if the goal is to almost always serve the cached version,
 then just about any cache timeout should be adequate. If we get 100
 requests per second (major slashdotting), and the cached version lasts for
 60 seconds, then once a minute we do a full request, and the other 5999
 requests get the cached version.

 Where does my logic break down? Is doing any real fetch at all during high
 load too much?
