I've only learned about the last bit of your comment recently. Active recovery (for me, really light cycling or relaxed walking) 5+ hours after a leg session seems to help quite a bit with soreness the next day.
It takes some discipline because I always want to push in cardio sessions, but it gets rid of my exercise "itch" for the day and increases circulation for recovery, as you mentioned.
