Has anybody used the Drupal "Boost" module with an Omega theme?
If you're not aware, the Boost module sets up a cache of HTML pages that eliminates the necessity of going back to the database everytime a page request is made. I'm thinking of using it for an adaptive site I've made using the Omega Framework along with the the Delta, Breakpoint and Context modules.
I'm curious as to how Boost might react to different HTML versions of the same web page. For example, using Context and Breakpoint, I have a different Delta page layout for pages used on narrower devices. So if a page request is made for a given URL, will the correct version of that page be served out of cache?

Interesting Conundrum
Bill, I've got some projects in the pipeline that this may be an issue with. Due to budgets, they won't be hosted on industrial-strength dynamic platforms such as Acquia or Pantheon, but on shared hosting plans. The sites aren't planned to be complex, but there is the issue of apparent slowness when the database is queried. All will be built on the Omega 4.x framework, and I'm planning to implement Boost to see how it performs. Will post back on this...
