yes the disk space is cheap but it is not alone the fact of disk space.
more disk you use, more RAM you'll need and many more files and disk
space you'll have to sort to look for a file. also to tell you that the
byte hit alone is not our goal, its also how fast you can deliver the
cached objects to your clients. from here, reaching sites located in
other countries is a satellite hop away, 600ms +. so its more about giving
better response time than saving little bandwidth. as you said it all
depends upon the situation you're in.
