I developed an #RStats package to get data from a remote service. Functions allow caching results, so that they will just return the saved files if the request is the same. I tend to be conservative and set the cache option to FALSE by default, but now I'm wondering if it would be more user friendly (and friendlier to the remote API) to set the default to TRUE.

What say the R community?

@eliocamp I'd cache by default but convey that to the user ("Values retrieved from cache") in the hope of saving me some support questions ("Why am I getting the same results?").
