At the bottom of the page it talks a little about caching:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime+Sip

I know that "sip show peers" doesn't work, and I believe that qualify
does not work without caching (but I haven't tested that).  I enable
caching because I don't change the names of sip_accounts that
frequently, and why have Asterisk hit the database constantly if you
aren't changing the information?  Asterisk will then save all of the
results in RAM, and only do a look-up for an unknown account.  If you
have a web interface for updating information you could always use AMI
to issue the prune/reload after committing the changes.
