Storing application- and user-specific data is what precious RAM is for! In an application environment with a single application server, you will typically achieve significantly higher performance under load by storing things in memory rather than fetching them from the database for each page request. You may need to provision your server's RAM adequately to ensure you have enough for the number of concurrent users you need to support, but RAM is comparatively cheap.
