if you do decide you would like to use in-memory caching, you can replace
Turck with memcached (http://www.danga.com/memcached/).  the same problem
exists with shared databases, but you can simply run several copies of
memcached and specify a different one in each LocalSettings.php.

memcached is also quite a bit more tested in general, since it's used on
Wikipedia.
