 * I manage several sites with this drop in via WPengine. I notice significant increases
   in queries and other much faster responses without making any specific changes
   to our code, loops, WPquery, ect… but I want to make sure I am taking advantage
   of all its benefits.
 * For example, can you elaborate on the following usage scenarios, or point me 
   in the direction of a **technical implementation guide** for the following:
    - Do I need to change the way I write custom queries to use this plugin and 
      take advantage of its features?
    - Once installed and running does it “automatically” cache the DB or do I need
      to trigger it somehow?
    - When developing plugins or themes (other than WP standards) are there any 
      additional standards or features I should develop into the theme to take advantage
      of this cache? For example, adding an option to the admin panel to allow users
      to ‘turn on or off’ the cache on various TAX or CPT queries…
    - Is there a more detailed guide somewhere?
 * Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
