yes, that make sense. But same menu on other page has little difference 
because the ACT/CUR and then we end up in a menu-by-item-cache again. 
Cache only make sense if reading by cache is significant faster than 
generation. Maybe the rootline cache boost menu generation enough - as 
there was no rootline cache when menu code was written.
