We have to use some sort of cache and we won't to use disk for it. Maybe we will try disk cache on ram disk or such hack.
You can do disk cache on ram disk if you want. But the disk cache often has better performance than the memory cache even on a normal disk. There are two reasons for this: 1. The disk cache is shared between all processes, while the mem cache must keep copies of each object for each processes. 2. The disk cache takes full advantage of your OSes buffer caches and zero-copy networking. If you have enough memory, then frequently accessed stuff from the disk cache is going to be kept in memory by your OS. And instead of apache having to handle all the synchronization itself, it will all be handled in the kernel where it is the most efficient.
