Serve cached files purely from web server #141

It would be good if web servers (apache, nginx etc) could serve up the images 
instead of a slower PHP script.

I would suggest that rather than linking to timthumb from the image source 
attribute a path to the cached file should be used. If the file doesn't exist 
the web server can rewrite the request to timthumb.

This is similar to what Drupal Boost does http://drupal.org/project/boost

This is a good idea, but it's something that should be implemented in the 
software/ server using the resized image rather than timthumb itself so I will 
mark this as 'NotBug'

Definitely worth looking at though :)
