It *is* you...

No chance on going open-source on your code then? Or I'll have to do  
it myself... Someone's got to do it sooner or later.

I was somewhat resigned to doing it myself in the end, but I  
completely forgot about eaccelerator as a means of local shared memory.

I'm certainly not going back to a libmemcache-based solution in a  
hurry after the amount of grief it's caused me over the various times  
I've tried it.
