I heard that shared memory is actually slower than writing and reading a file and it is not available on windows systems.

Hmmm ... that's an interesting thing you heard concerning shared memory. Care to share _who_ told you that? I'd like to make sure I don't hire him/her in the future. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2001/10/11/pearcache.html

Check it out, is in old article, but it says "|shm| -- The |shm| container stores the cached data in the shared memory. Benchmarks indicate that the current implementation of this container is much slower than the |file| container."
