$node / $module_result / $DesignKeys question

Hi,

I've searched through the site to find caching-related articles, seeing as I've succeeded in creating a really slow website.
Some of the documentation is contradictory, however.
I've read that it doesn't matter if you use $node in templates while using caching (<quote>Don't worry about view caching or not: when cached, the template isn't used anyway</quote> ). This was said in:
http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/customization/custom_design/template_variables_set_by_ezpublish

Everywhere else tells me to use $module_result when using caching.
But I'm working with a development server (caching off) and a production server (caching on). So I need a solution that will work with caching on or off.
Is this possible by using the $DesignKey variable to get the node_id and then do a fetch? Or would this slow my site down even more?
I really could use any advice here. TIA,

Vivienne

Thanks Paul,

This certainly helped clear things up for me. Now I can bring some structure into my pages, as I was using $node and $module_result willynilly throughout the site.
