I'd like to see if there are places it could help Drupal. The current preferred solution for high-performance Drupal, though, is memory caching:

Alexey Zakhlestin -

there is, actually, a better alternative to file-based cache. I mean memcached and apc's ability to store data in shared memory.
while this is not as portable as your solution, speed benefit is more stable

Alexey,

Indeed, both those solutions are high-performance and very scalable, as is MySQL Cluster! I am working on putting together a comparison of all these types of cache mechanisms.

Cheers!

Jay
