About Office_Viewing_Service_Cache site collection -/sites/Office_Viewing_Service_Cache
This is the OOB default SharePoint2010 behavior to cache the documents/ppts while rendering in the browser from any site collection within the specific web application.
Background History about Office web app:
The Office Web Apps’ cache is the back-end store that is responsible for housing images, HTML, JavaScript, and XAML resources once they have been created for a document. Each time a document is converted into a set of these resources, the resources are stored in the Office Web Apps’ cache. When a request for a document comes into SharePoint, the cache is checked to see if the document had been previously requested and rendered. If it has, and the cached document resources are up-to-date for the document, then the document request is served from the cache instead of engaging Office Web Apps to convert and re-render it. Serving document resources from the Office Web Apps’ cache can yield significant performance improvements over scenarios where no cache is employed.
The Office_Viewing_Service_Cache site collection is a standard Team Site, and it is the location where resources are stored after the conversion and rendering of either a Word or PowerPoint document by Office Web Apps.

The Office Web Apps’ cache takes the form of a single site collection for each Web application within a SharePoint farm.

One of those timer jobs, the Office Web Apps Cache Creation timer job, ensures that each Web application where Office Web Apps is running has a site collection
