I'm looking at a way to store the CP data (or ny other data if needed)
in an other way instead of loading/writing it everytime with the need of
parsing it.

 

I have different possibilities:

Serialisation (keeps the data structures intact, still writes everything
to a file but hell, its MFS ;) ) I don't know if this is going to give
us the needed performance boost with +100 CP users

Memcached: A daemon being responsible to store data in memory by
writing/reading it to/from the daemon (but I think this is going to be
an overhead since serialisation seems to almost perform the same task)

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.memcache.php

 

APC: Caching extensions for PHP that as far as I can see don't need a
continuous running tcp daemon (like memcached)

http://phpbuilder.com/manual/en/ref.apc.php &
http://pecl.php.net/package/apc

 

I think both serialisation as APC sounds good but I'm not sure which
ones to choose from.

 

Any suggestions would been appreciated

 

J.
