Some of the

the last generated version as a "regular" article?
Example: I request "Special:Most Wanted" when it is available. The
link list I get is written into "Wikipedia:Most Wanted".
Good idea. Should the cached copy perhaps be in the Special:
namespace,
too, and uneditable? Otherwise people might be surprised when their
edits are overwritten.
Having Talk: for the special pages might also be useful.
Yes, call it [[Special:Most Wanted (cached)]] and put a note at the top
about when it was cached. During busy hours, the message at
[[Special:Most Wanted]] would have a link to the cached version.
By the way, performance has become much better recently. Probably the
busy hour block?
