Entity cache - any benefit?...

As for anonymous users, everything just flies!

Redis-only cache backend, both for D7 and D6 is already implemented in the BOA head. It is much faster than previous Redis+Memcached+DB chain and while it has no built-in failover (so all sites may just crash when Redis is not available), we have added as simple check to use Redis based caching only when Redis is available and standard DB caching when it is not available, so we have custom failover anyway.

how?

It is built-in in the Barracuda and Octopus head and enabled by default. You don't need to enable anything on the server or in any site after running both Barracuda and Octopus upgrade. It works out of the box. 100% automation :)
