+<p>Code Igniter's query caching system happens dynamically when your pages are viewed.
When caching is enabled, the first time a web page is loaded, the query result object will
be serialized and stored in a text file on your server. The next time the page is loaded the cache file will be used instead of
accessing your database. Your database usage can effectively be reduced to zero for any pages that have been cached.</p>
