Whats the advantage of caching areas on the site? And does this affect security in anyway?

Caching improves performance.

I think it allows XOOPS direct access to "cached" files instead of going into the SQL server to get templates.

Yes, caching improves performance by reducing the amount of PHP code, including MySQL queries, that has to be executed to serve the page.

Caching potentially impacts security. If you cache a page whose content depends on which user is viewing it, that could result in a user being able to view data or access functionality for which he's not authorized.

This problem can be avoided by not caching that kind of page. As far as I know, the XOOPS core handles this correctly. I'm not sure if all the third-party modules handle it correctly.
