I would consider a "heavy" DB page to have ~10 queries. Yea no crap! I would consider a “heavy” DB page to have ~10 queries.

For most people, this won't make a difference, but it is incredibly annoying how easily a wordpress blog actually goes down. Some optomization would also improve performance for all those users who do actually use smaller sites. As for myself, I am a bit disturbed when I see 20+ db queries for every page that goes up.

It was just a devil's advocate post. I just wanted to put the other side out there for kicks. Correct, I wouldn’t say you were wrong at saying they should add it. It was just a devil’s advocate post.

"to have as small of a hhd impression as possible", I assume you meant hdd, as in hard disk drive space. I don't think that's one of their goals. Moreover, I can't find that as their goal anywhere, so I'm curious as to where you got that. The pros and cons of caching are ridiculously one sided, and the fact that it will use roughly double the hard drive space is seemingly the only argument, and not nearly a good one. I have just over 700 posts on my site that has been up for over 4 years. My wp_posts db size is 1.4MB, caching each of these at best would be an additional 1.4MB. If hdd space were a goal of the software, Wordpress should have caching enabled by DEFAULT, and have an option to disable, in order to save disk space but with a penalty in performance. The reason to use caching is not only for not going down due to many users. It's all too easy to stage a DoS on a Wordpress enabled site. You can change the post slug, you know.

I correct the title the the URI is now wrong. This has been noted. Ok, as soon as I pressed ‘Publish’ I noticed that I spelled intentionally incorrectly in the title.
