If you look at the sourcecode, you'll see that there are already 
functions in place for the serialization stuff.

But weird enough it didn't improve on performance, and I got some issues 
(I don't remember exactly which issues anymore since it's almost 2years 
ago now ;) ) but I do remember users not being able to authenticate anymore.

If you want you can change the source code to use the newer 
serialization code and test it out. Maybe I've overlooked something ;)

I had a look at BDB before to further improve CP performance but that 
didn't really worked out because of diskspace and library.

Kind Regards,

Jonathan
