I don't know about caching, but since GNOME 2.0 it's been possible to
pregenerate HTML versions of the help files using the yelp-pregenerate
command[1], and yelp will load those straight away.  (But only if there
isn't a newer XML version of the same help file installed in the system,
so you don't keep getting the old help files if you upgrade to a new
version of an application that doesn't use pregeneration).
