Testing for data freshness on every hit to the cache would kind of 
defeat the purpose of the cache, it would mostly be unnecessary 
processing. A better method is to not expire the cache at all, and 
remove the involved cached file(s) upon an update of your data (which 
you can do.) Then you will get the effect you want without a peformance 
penalty.
