Description
Playing around in the shell and watching postgresql.log I found out the following:
Method a)
list = Article.objects.filter(idgt=130).order_by('-id')[0:2]
list[0] # Performs SQL query with LIMIT 1
list[1] # Performs another SQL query with LIMIT 1 OFFSET 2
Method b) 
list = Article.objects.filter(idgt=130).order_by('-id')[0:2]
list # Performs an SQL query with LIMIT 2
list[0] # Hits the cache
list[1] # Hits the cache
Calling list[0] afterwards will invoke the SQL query with LIMIT 1
Calling list[1] after this will invoke another query with LIMT 1 OFFSET 1
b) Calling just "list" afterwards first and then calling list[0] and list[1]
will honor the cache and therefore only one SQL query gets fired.
