Not a panacea, nor a replacement for optimization of the page itself, but certainly brings down load times.
I have tried this module on several sites and have had buggy behavior on some of them. On one site, it was showing cached versions of logged-in user pages to anonymous users... so I had to turn it off.
It is pretty easy to set up. Enable, go to performance settings, turn on, configure as desired, and make sure you have your cache folder (or perms are set so it can create it).
Make sure to test on a staging/test site before deploying live. Clear cache while logged in, then go around to the various pages and check those pages from a different type of browser while being anonymous. If it doesn't show you anything it shouldn't, you are good to go.
