Page caching for Buddypress? Transients, memcached, vs others

Since Buddypress works on having users login, page caches software such W3 Total Cache, BP Super Cache, Nginx microcache, APC, Memcached, etc. won't work.

What would work is a partial page caching software. But there doesn't seem to be any such software now.

However, by using the wordpress transients API, one can manually code fragment or partial page caching.

Starting with Wordpress 3.7, transients are garbage collected, so the issues mentioned above may be fixed.
