I thought about memcache too, but I have limited ram space and a lot (14k) records that needs to be cached. > >> If I read the manual right, I have to give a timeout to >> all the cache functions that are available.

Helps in the case that I was on the right road, thanks. :) I thank you for your response. So it seems that I do have to create it on my own. If anyone did something like this before or has performance tips or something else please share.
