To be fair cake did "cache" the show tables/describe magically for a
few seconds if I sat there refreshing the page. :)

I always generate my Gateways & VO's from table definitions &
hand-code any non-crud statements.  I've never really dealt with this
stuff before but it is a little disheartening.  I would rather take
the 5 minutes re-generating a few files for an updated table versus
infinite amounts of computer power wasted trying to just make it work.
