From "Geeking with Greg" (http://glinden.blogspot.com), "Web-based RSS readers like My Yahoo!'s RSS Beta cache RSS feeds to share among several readers, reducing load on the server. Because immediate updates aren't important when delivering RSS content, it's also straightforward to set up intermediatary caching servers, just like many do for static web content."
