 A broken safe_mode will do it.  is_writable() returns true, indicating
that we can cache to the disk.  However, when it's time to actually put
a file in the cache dirs, we fail due to safe_mode and return false when
trying to retrieve from the cache.  We then query the DB and try to set
the cache, which fails due to safe_mode.  This happens every time we try
to read from the cache and results in lots of queries.

So, those affected by this should DISABLE_CACHE.
