Are you sure this is the best way ?
Nope, I'm always open to suggestions :-).
That bug was left hanging because I didn't want to do this and penalize
those who don't use apc_store/fetch with an extra memory penalty for
every request.
I tested for speed/cpu performance and didn't see huge difference, but for a lorge structure I'm sure it could eat up some memory.
If you don't mind, I'll be rewriting this bit sometime next week or so.
Sounds good to me, hope I didn't cause any trouble. Let me know if you'd like me to revert my changes.
Thanks!
