One of the entries inside the SharePoint element is BlobCache. By default, it looks like this:

<BlobCache location="C:\BlobCache" path=".(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="FALSE" />

In order to improve the performance of your site, the BlobCache should be enabled.

<BlobCache location="C:\BlobCache" path=".(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="TRUE" />

The maxSize attribute is in GigaBytes, so make sure you have enough room at the location.

Pop quiz: why is it off by default?!

It’s an article that describes the capacity limits for MOSS 2007.
