Blocks instances loads and renders blocks in a custom way. Caching have to be provided in a custom way too.

Please provide support for the following modules as well:

http://drupal.org/project/blockcache_alter
http://drupal.org/project/ajaxblocks

From my testing I was unable to get block_instances to work with the above.

This module as well, as it's related to caching: http://drupal.org/project/blockcache_alter. My understanding is that block_instances would be better used in sites built for anonymous traffic and few authenticated users, until it provides a caching mechanism that is compatible with other caching modules. As it stands any blocks (non views blocks because views has it's own cache) loaded via block_instances remains un-cached. Form a users perspective, it would be great if block_instances would be a drop in replacement of blocks and work with other block cache contrib modules.
