| 1. A method for providing an input-dependent output comprising:
processing, at a processor, a received message to determine if a previously cached output exists for the received message;
if the previously cached output is found, providing the previously cached output to a destination other than a sender of the
received message as output for the received message; and
processing the received message to produce a newly-generated output if the previously cached output is not found and establishing
a cache expiration time for the newly generated output, wherein
said processing the received message to produce a newly-generated output includes processing the received message using a
plurality of processing modules, and said establishing the cache expiration time includes determining, for each processing
module of said plurality of processing modules, a module-specific cache expiration time to be associated with the newly generated
output based at least in part on the processing performed by a corresponding processing module.
