[...] Unfortunately it has a bug. So the caching module that I set up to ensure that Dreamhost wouldn’t need to clobber my processes… made Dreamhost clobber my processes. Sigh. [...]

I have encountered the same issue, especially after changing a post or page, WP-Cache sometimes seems to make my WP installation unresponsive. Disabling it and then manually removing all files from the ‘cache’ folder and the ‘advanced-cache’ link (using FTP) helps, but is of course far from ideal. Hope this can be fixed in a future release.

Dreamhost have a fix for this problem in their Help pages:

1. Open /wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php file* in your favourite text editor, where is the domain that you’re having troubles with EG: dreamhost.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php
2. Alternatively if that file is not in that location for some reason you can issue this command to find it from the directory: find . -name wp-cache-phase2.php
3. Locate the wp_cache_ob_end function
4. then inside that function find the line with: ob_end_clean(); (it should be line 219 or about)
5. and finally replace that line with: ob_end_flush();

I’ve hard of this bug before but never seen it myself. It sounds as if the age of the cache isn’t being correctly handled.

wp-cache seems to use filemtime(), making me wonder if this is an issue mostly for those who use webhosts that mount their filesystem using NFS, or have some sort of file caching mechanism in place that can cause funny behavior from time to time.
