Uh... in memory? That's a bad idea IMO for two reasons:

1. Large memory requirements

2. Likely repeated encoding into a file format like JPEG, PNG, etc.

If you store the files on the disk, you can stream them as often as
you'd like. If you get a request for an image that already exists, you
can serve it up, otherwise, you can create it.

You can even create a hash of lock objects or something so that you can
"lock" the file as it's being written so that the file is only written
once even if multiple clients are requesting it.
