My answer to Django (web framework): What is the recommended way to cache objects that are very large (>1.5MB)? on Quora

Take a look at redis—it can handle binary strings up to 512 MB and has performance that is similar to memcache. It’s very easy to use from within Django (there’s even a pluggable cache backend for it).
