I found that using Cache Router, http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter 
actually worked quite well at caching for logged in users as well as 
anonymous users.

Sadly,  there won't be a version 7 of this module as someone else 
managed to get their own Caching scheme inserted into the core, and then 
proceeded to belittle and badmouth proposals to release a version 7 of 
Cache Router.    While the version 7 Drupal Cache functions are a step 
up and I would even say the concept seems 'cleaner', it doesn't approach 
Cache Router in practical functionality - instead depending solely on 
module writers to cache when needed.
