Not really, cache_hit can only be "improved" by lots more people visiting
the same sites. Increasing the memory and diskspace means you potentially
cache more pages but, if your users visit fairly diverse pages, this means
that your cache hit ratio may actually decrease.

This is kind of meaningless. I guess anything from 25-50% is reasonable.

Force more objects to be cached longer. The downside to this is that you
end up increasing the staleness of your cache.
