I would think most queries using LIMIT would also include an ORDER BY clause
which would require PostgreSQL to sort all the results before applying the
LIMIT.

PostgreSQL might not do 'result caching' but if you have an adequate number
of buffers configured would it not be likely that the results from the last
query are still in memory?
