Does the Web server cache the response, but not always?

That is certainly possible. The caching in IIS and ASP.Net is impressive, including nice kernel mode cache where the request never even transitions to user mode code. Between TOE and kernel mode cache you can do some amazing performance numbers. Then again, it could simply be a low-priority request, or a bad server day. At this point most MS sites should be running on Windows 2008 R2 RC1 (the result of dogfooding) so it's possible there's a problem.
