When I run the same query multiple times against the Azure table storage, is it using caching and speeding up the subsequent queries?
In other words, is it caching the HTTP response?

Azure storage definitly use caching: http://www.scribd.com/doc/73458371/Windows-Azure-Storage-at-23rd-ACM-Symposium-on-Operating-Systems-Principles-SOSP-Paper
Note that writes are actually kept in memory until correctly replicated and I think it’s safe to assume that any reads are cached too so that multiple reads to the same data are served from memory.
