By default panels assumes that you would never want to cache any displays / panes on a $_POST request.
This is quite an assumption, in some cases you might want the contents of a pane, or an entire display to be cached on a $_POST request (for example if it will display the exact same content regardless of GET or POST).

On some pages on our site (where we have a form and surrounding mini panels) - this is giving us a boost of around 2 seconds.

Comment exceeds 80chars.

Also patch does not set cache when $_POST is active.

Updated the patch to set the cache during post requests also + fixed the 80chars issue.

Oh, me likes the idea. Have this to give a test :)
I'd say the patch looks pretty good and even contains a "Don't try at home" line which points out that this could have unwanted side-effects if you don't know what you're doing.
Still have to try it *in the wild* though.
