PHP Cache_Lite Alternative

Question

I'm using Cache_Lite for html and array Cache in my project. I found Cache_Lite may lead to high system IO problem. Maybe because the performance of Cache_Lite is not good

I'm asking is there any stable php html/page cache to use?

I already have APC installed for opcode cache, Memcached installed for common data/array cache.

I've had exact problem with Cache Lite, as library doesn't properly implement file locks.

Solved it with new library and drop in replacement for Cache Lite.

Just to mention that library lacks some features that I didn't found useful like cache cleaning and caching in memory (_memoryCaching property which is false by default and marked as "beta quality" in original library).

Algorithm which is used for file locking follows this diagram,
