Would it be practical and efficient to cache shared data to file (or a series of files)? My understanding is that reading files is faster than doing SQL queries, but not as fast as accessing memcached. But, the file would have the advantage of being non-threaded. I don't think configuration things like sysprefs, frameworks or issuing rules would change frequently enough for us to need to worry about concurrent writes, but I suppose that should also be factored in...
If you are going to cache to files, you might as well just cache to memcached or redis, which are also non-threaded and a lot faster. Chris
