unless you're publishing out static pages OG will always return that
it's changed. Otherwise it's gotta do a database hit to see if it's
changed anyway, and on the homepage that means the expensive recent
changed database hit.
Like Simon I am interested to learn and discuss rather than an expert!
Do proxying caches remember the Modified: and Expired: header when they
fetch a page. Or do they always go back to the main site and ask them
for the headers for the page. And if they ask for the headers, might
that end up as two hits?
