I would say the only *confirmable* deliberate cache busting done are the
28 pre-expired responses. And they are an insignificant (almost
unmeasurable) percentage of the responses.
As you noted - much more study is needed. This one is utterly
inconclusive. You conclude from your numbers that significant savings can
be found. I conclude from the same numbers that the extra overhead of the
hit metering in fact is *higher* than the loses to deliberate cache
busting. You would have more network traffic querying for hit meter
results than the savings for such a tiny number of cache busted responses.
