In the context of a RESTXQ handler that is processing a stored document to generate HTML From it, I need to do some expensive processing and then cache the result for the next time the same document is rendered.

For fromoldbooks.org/Search i use a cache on the front end, outside BaseX. The one is use is custom code, but there are off the shelf ones now.

If the data is sensitive, there's a danger of http injection attacks with this approach, especially with POST queries, so check for the cache's story on security (more details on request).

For the front page (www.fromoldbooks.org) i use memcached, because what's served doesn't depend on query parameters.
