You always get the changes when changing the page, directives-driven
caching is limited to the output and dependent on the source page, and
can be made dependent on other conditions

You never should have to reset the service, just "touch" a dependency,
like Web.Config, then XSP will restart the ASP.NET application affected
(and no other).

As I said the only chance caching would make a page not to refresh is if
you explicitly (by code) cache a page or parts of it without any
dependencies and without a timeout. That is just bad application design
not something inherent to ASP.NET caching, so bill your client the time
your team will need to debug the client app and correct it's caching
policies.
