I've a web app built in PHP with Zend on a LAMP stack. I have a list of 4000 words I need to load into memory. The words have categories and other attributes, and I need to load the whole collection every time. Think of a dictionary object.What's the best way to store it for quick recall? A flat file with something like XML, JSON or a serialized object? A database record with a big chunk of XML, JSON or a serialized object? Or 4000 records in a database table?I realize different server configs will make a difference, but assume an out-of-the-box shared hosting plan, or WAMP locally or some other simple setup.
