If you have an idea of what you need to cache or can fit everything into the cache it's extremely effective.

Tho potentially just refreshing out of date data in the cache could increase effectiveness given that general assumption of the cache is whats in the cache will probably be used again.

I called it a periodically refreshing cache when I wrote one. Not sure if there is a more formal name.
