You're eventually going to need it. It's a pain in the butt to add later. You should just start with caching. And before, you still have to make hard decisions, like what caching system am I using? Where am I caching? Am I caching in memory? Do I have enough memory? If I cache in the database, how many am I on an RPM hard drive? Am I running on a good old 5400 RPMs? Is that going to take forever?
