Hey all-
While we found plenty of info on caching on D.O we are looking for more of an hierarchical breakdown to help our content owners get more involved with caching their evergreen content for longer periods than the content that changes more frequently. Can anyone briefly write down the order in which the various components cache? IOW, does one supersede another? I wrote down my impressions below:

1) Page
2) Panel
3) Block
4) View

The way I understand it is Page cache will trump all other cache settings.

Now we also have implemented Varnish 3, APC, Memcache and looking to implement Boost, Purge, Rules & expire, however, I figured we needed to focus on tweaking the caching of our top 3 pages which are mix of the 4 items listed above.

Any information or links you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks!

High performance
