Hi, Florian,

My org version is:
Org-mode version 7.5 311b09d92644f39040087327d6a1dbeb09a9ab6e

In the manual,

Export options.
#+OPTIONS:      todo: nil

manual explanation:

#+OPTIONS:      todo:   turn on/off inclusion of TODO keywords into exported text
                tags:    turn on/off inclusion of tags, may also be  `not-in-toc'

Bastien just said:
 "I've never been a big fan of caching Org files information, because Org
  files are often modified in impredictible ways.  But if we can update
  the cache quickly, then it will certainly be useful."

  However it will stress the disk.

yes, but you can use underscore: "_"

you can archive the task/headline, when it is done.
