Caching most of Symfony components and services

Having a Java background, one point I have missed during many years is that PHP recreates everything at every request.

So using the Symfony framework, we recreate every components of this - yet great - framework. Every service, all the router, are built and rebuilt.

We can cache data in $_SESSION, but we save 50 times data if we have 50 users. I thought I could use static or $_SERVER, but it doesn't work the Java way.

The PHP way is to use Memcached and there are plenty of exemples caching the doctrine requests, but I haven't seen any of them caching the Router or the Services. Do you know exemples, or is it just a bad idea ?

That's one of the characteristics of PHP, nothing lives once the request is finished.

There're a couple of projects where they wrap the bootstrapping process of symfony so it's only run once. Here's the project: php-pm and an article describing it's usage
