You might consider looking at memcached. One way to use it would be to have
the PHP application check for the cached object first and use it rather than
do any database queries. Then you can use pgmemcached to allow triggers to
invalidate cached objects whenever the underlying data changes. (Or you could
even just use pl/php to update or invalidate the cached object through the
same code library)
