Having the query cache in MySQL enabled should be adequate.

We did a lot of testing for Mambo, and learned that although ADOdb's
client-side caching was faster than MySQL's query cache (no network
trips at all, as the cache was on the webserver instead of on the
database machine), we also saw the load go up on the webserver
(especially on slower hardware or sites under heavy load).

Finally, after all that work, we discovered that caching the output
(templates, output HTML etc.) gave us MUCH MORE significant results
than any query caching toolkits available.

So you can use whichever caching you prefer, but know that researching
something like PEAR's Cache_Lite would provide infinitely more
performance gains for about the same amount of effort.
