My reason for doing this is simply to avoid multiple sql-queries in a 
recursive self-referencing datastructure. Usually this can be avoided by 
querying the entire subset of data needed, and manipulate it in memory. 
Unfortunately the data in question does not enable me to just query the 
subset of data.

I will definetely have a look at Redis. Seems promising.

Thanks.
