 Replying to [comment:32 Viper007Bond]:
 > Correct, the ideal solution would be a caching system not related to
 posts but rather the call itself.
 >
 > Caching to the file system will not work or scale. Many filesystems are
 not local and reading and writing to filesystems heavily will be slow and
 not good. Look back at what happened when WordPress tried to store
 `WP_Cache` results to the filesystem back around WordPress 2.0 if you
 don't believe me.

 thought of. Post meta was the best I could come up with.

 Methinks it'll remain the best option until we ever mimic what we did with
 options by creating some kind of post_transient API (and while we're at
 it, user_transient, comment_transient, etc.).
