I'm creating an application that displays a table of information 
based on user input. It is time-expensive to create the data for the table.

The user can, after seeing the HTML table, click on a 'Download' link 
and receive the data in CSV form.

I don't want to compute the data again. Is there a way to persist the 
data without putting it in the database? It could be too large to fit 
in the session, so that's out.

My first thought, stuff it in a global variable (horrors! - oh, get 
real, globals can have their uses), is apparently a bad idea because 
a deployment with multiple mongrels or a similar scheme has multiple 
code/data spaces that don't communicate.

Thanks,

Scott
