Viktor, In essence, that is what memcached is designed to do. Place it in your data layer to check memcached before going to the database and only going to the database if the data isn't in memcached and you're in good shape. Depending on how compartmentalized the code for your site is, it may be easy to implement for the entire site or you may have to pick and choose the most painful (read expensive) database calls and cache them to begin with.
