Web Part Caching – A simple approach:-
Open Visual Studio2010 and select a WebPart form SharePoint 2010 Template:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace VisualWebPartProject1.VisualWebPart1
{
    [ToolboxItemAttribute(false)]
    public class VisualWebPart1 : WebPart
    {       
        private const string _ascxPath = @"~/_CONTROLTEMPLATES/VisualWebPartProject1/VisualWebPart1/VisualWebPart1UserControl.ascx";
       
        protected override void CreateChildControls()
        {
            Control control = Page.LoadControl(_ascxPath);
            Controls.Add(control);

            List<SPList> lists = new List<SPList>();
            string status = "";

            if (HttpRuntime.Cache["SimpleSampleCache"] == null)
            {
                status = "The following items are <strong>NOT</strong> fetched from the cache<br/><br/>";

                SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
                foreach (SPList list in web.Lists)
                    lists.Add(list);

                HttpRuntime.Cache.Add("SimpleSampleCache",
                lists,
                null,
                DateTime.MaxValue,
                TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10),
                System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority.Default, null);
            }
            else
            {
                status = "The following items <strong>ARE</strong> fetched from the cache!<br/><br/>";
                lists = (List<SPList>)HttpRuntime.Cache["SimpleSampleCache"];
            }
           
            Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(status));

            foreach (SPList l in lists)
                Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(l.Title + " - " + l.ItemCount + " items<br/>"));   
        }
    }
}

Press F5 and add WebPart to an WebPart Page and Show the Result as follows:-
