Since you are the one that is setting the cache this is actually not a problem at all. You can do
isLogged = IA(ctx).get('uid', None)
t.cached(name=str(self.__class__)+('1','0')[isLogged == False], lifetime=10)[..]
This won't leak anything except for logged/not logged users which is what you want.
Now it should be clear what are the advantages of being able to set the name yourself :).

Just running the same thing that expires the sessions is enough. It's 5 lines of code or something like that, of course this should be left to the cache manager implementation.

I think you can cache the result of self.docFactory.load() in the same way you put t.cached() in loader.stan()

from my tests it shouldn't be that slower. But you do over 200 req/sec so it can be different.

With this it should take a lot less.
