The documentation does not specify whether it's a performance win or
not, but I'd assume it is because it eliminates some filesystem writes. 

Do you think it's a bad idea for some other reason? It's an optional
feature that we could turn off independently from the rest of MemCached:

By the way, I figured out that MediaWiki could use APC for its main
cache (see CACHE_ACCEL):

I'd expect it to be a performance win over memcached because it's
in-process. What do you think?
