Faster Variables

With a trick we are able to add a write-through cache to variable_get/variable_set by replacing $conf with an ArrayObject.

This means only necessary variables are prefetched from the variables table.

Please only use this module with memcache or APC as cache backend as everything else will severely degrade performance.

Currently the module utilizes the 'cache' cache_bin.

Have fun and enjoy less memory intensive and faster pages.
