It's possible that this would speed things up, but if the real bottleneck
is that the intranet server is pushing lots of dynamic data at you, and
it is what is resource bound. the cache won't really help. if you have
huge numbers of static objects but dynamic data, then increasing the size
of the object cache on the client web browsers might help just as much...

when you say 2Mbit, I assume you mean e1 which means to me you can't
simply move the intranet server closer to the clients correct?
