APC?
apc_store('some_array',serialize($some_array),86400);
caches $some_array in RAM for 24 hours.
$some_array = unserialize(apc_fetch('some_array'));
brings it back out.
Note - don't do this if you're dealing with massive amounts of data
unique to each session_id, though. Come to think of it... if you're
dealing with massive amounts of data for each session_id, that might be
part of your problem. :)
