It looks like others have had similar thoughts - lighttpd have a mod_memcache module which caches small files in memory for faster access.<BR>

"Serving several thousands small files for lighttpd is quite challenging. Operating System has to do a lot of random access, which increase io-wait. mod_mem_cache is the plugin which stores content of files in memory for faster serving. It's more configurable than OS buffers (at least, linux buffers), in some cases yields better performance.<BR>
<BR>
For example, you can configure it to cache files smaller than 5 kb, just cache files with a specific mime type or different strategies to free memory when the configured limit has been reached."<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Rob.<BR>
