The cache and the agent are redundant in that both create independent local copies of your articles.

Personally, I either set a group to never expire from the agent (in which case I never cache those articles) or I expire after a short time but use the cache for long term storage. Which I do depends upon the percentage of articles that I expect to keep in a certain group. Kevin
