I wanted it cached and I was planning to use the HTTPruntime to handle the caching in my code. The issue I ran into was that since the root object was a complex reference type with deep nested elements, the changes and trimmings I made to the data ended up propagating all the way back into the HTTP Run time cached object. I came across this link which seemed to cover the issue.

the original article called for a fieldinfo array to be grabbed from the type, but the way I had it set up, I needed to grab the propertyInfo array from getproperties. And since this was a List<string> type in my example, I then had to iterate over it to copy the object. Once I made these changes, I was able to new up a copy of the original object, avoid all the calls back to the taxonomy store, and make whatever trims and modifications I wanted without corrupting the base object. pretty handy, and not to hard to pull off.
