[development] memcache

[Fernando Silva]

But not a site with 10k nodes (pages), all them cached for anonymous use.
Assuming 16Kb per page (generated) this would result in 156Mb of cached size.
By the way, putting this cache into the filesystem, makes the database
smaller... and that means faster backups.
