Like I said, DB server configuration is being explored in parallel. I don't
want this discussion to get off topic.

We have our own caching mechanism in place, however, I'll check out APC. I
doubt this will help us much, however. Our permissions are very granular
and there are rarely two users that have the same permissions (and would see
the same data returned from the query). For this reason, also, MySQL's
buffers and cache don't do too much good with multiple-user scenarios--the
portion of the WHERE clause that filters results by user permissions is
almost guaranteed to be different with each user.
