Look at the methods provided by a RAMCacheManager.
I would use my "DocFinder" (<http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>)

You may also consider caching the Z SQL Methods (controlled via
their "Advanced" tab).
Do not forget to invalidate the cache, when you add/change users.
This can be done by editing the Z SQL Method or by using
my "CacheControlled ZSQL Methods" (see above, for the URL).
