that's ka-Map. If you do nothing that's what ka-map will do: caching.  
If  you don't force redraw or delete the cache dir you could even  
delete datasources: no more requests from the mapserver.

please, have a look to old posts. We already answered this question  
in March.

anyway, here's the answer:

Many question can find an answer in the Wiki.
If you see something is missing please contribute.

If you do a public application post the URL. We will comment together.

Let me know. If you don't want or cannot develop it on you own: I'm  
available.
