Hello,
I've read that with marketpress and ecom sites for wordpress we should not use the site cache management tools/plugins. it seems counter intuitive that on ecom sites where user experience is perhaps more sensitive to speed and response times, that we should not have some type of way to keep the site fast and not bogged down...can you offer some direction and suggestions for this please?

Hi Michael,
Good question! I'll mention this thread to a few of the other guys over here to see what ideas they might have, but Aaron (the lead developer for MarketPress) mentions in the following thread that Super Cache can check for a cart cookie and not cache the page if it exists: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/marketpress-and-wp-super-cache
From what I've read of Magento (the popular e-commerce CMS), it utilizes block caching, which seems like an intuitive approach to me. The following plugin appears to provide that type of functionality. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache-block/

David's tips above are good. If you're really concerned about server strain and load times then I know several folks are having great success with using a Nginx + Varnish solution on their server.
If that's a little more than you're prepared to do, make sure that your memory_limit and max_execution_time values in PHP are setup to handle the products available on your site.

There's also a bit of recent discussion of the matter as follows:
