Pardon me? Cache? Does this mean I can stockpile multiple work assignments?
That would be great, but I see nothing about that in the menu or help. I am
running 3.08, which according to the site is what I would get if I
downloaded now.

It's not a feature of the S@h client, you need an add-on package.
I use both SETI Driver and SETI Queue, but if you're not feeding
several systems you only need SETI Driver.

I'm feeding about two dozen systems; many are running Windows of
various flavors (NT4 Workstation, 95, 98, and one 2K) and those
have SETI Driver installed, with a local queue of one more WU than
the processors in the system. Those, and my *nix-based systems,
are fed via a pair of Win98 systems running SETI Queue (which are
also running SETI Driver and a client). At the moment, I have
33 accumulated results ready to return, and 207 WU available to
distribute. There are about 40 WU distributed to the various
systems.

Caching is handy, as long as it's not overdone.
