I don't think I enjoyed any advance CIS topic more than I enjoyed cache 
design. If you like the analytical thinking behind caching -- client 
side vs. server side vs. mysql level vs. apache level vs. php 
application level, page level, even RAM level, you should look into the 
field of cache design and management. It is not only interesting and 
extremely practical, but there is alot of room to play with some good 
tools and plenty of room to make contributions from the sysadmin level 
through the Ph.D. level.

Improving cache utilization is probably the most powerful way to improve 
performance....
