How to implement a cache for web resources? NSURLRequest cache or disk caching?

I have several UITableViews that asynchronously load the images, video, and text from the internet using NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection (Think s开发者_运维技巧imilar to NYTimes app). That works fine. Currently the content isn't cached. I don't need offline access but just want to cache to speed up performance.

What would be best:

• Using NSURLRequest and cachePolicy?
• Saving the images and videos to disk (what about metadata)? How would I store text?
