Or use sharedance, which is essentially memcached on disk, and is not  
subject to data loss on server restart and is limited by disk space,  
rather than RAM, so you're unlikely to run out of space. It's not as  
fast as memcached, but it's still much quicker than a regular DB.

I use sharedance for sessions, memcached for caching.
