I've tested different cache plugin on my blog, i'm using this code to calculate the load time:
<!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->
the loading time without a cache plugins is 0.280 second, with a cache plugin is the same or worst, i've tried W3 Total cache and Hyper cache.
how is possible ?
Do you get enough traffic to warrant the use of a caching plugin? Typically, caching plugins are for decreasing CPU load, not necessarily for decreasing load time.

No, i've only few hits every day. I'd a cache plugin to load quickly the page
If you only have a few hits a day, I recommend not using a cache plugin. As you can see, it does cause your page to load slightly slower, and there's no need to decrease your server load for only a few hits a day.
