Varnish is most definitely a huge win. It can be somewhat of a pain to install if you're not using Chef or something, though. Here's some helpful info I compiled that might come in handy for first-timers:

Installing Varnish with nginx, Passenger, and Monit on Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid:

It's a bit out of date now, but basically still applicable.

Also, here are some packages for Sprinkle, which is an alternative to Chef that I like:

Varnish is not installed by the default example, but look in packages/varnish.rb and you'll be able to sort it out.

Go go gadget Varnish!
