Making it work efficiently in zope is one thing.  Caching it to go
beyond imho is just not something Zope should be responsible for.

only called a few times.  It's CMF that is calling it a zillion times
(why?).  So it is CMF that should avoid making so many calls... if
that means caching in CMF, so be it.
