We have used MediaWiki's file cache[2] until now, but recently the wiki has been hammered with requests from some stupid Chinese bots/crawlers. Caching at the web server level is faster as we avoid the PHP overhead and it seems to make a difference (performance wise), especially when the bots/crawlers are hitting us. This is usual done with Varnish[3], but I went with a simple Python service (30 LOC) for handling the PURGE requests as that is much simpler thn adding Varnish to our stack.
