The memory requirements are something like 128 bytes per
client that has an entry in the persistant-tepmlate cache.
If you had an extreemly large number of clients, then this
might be a reasonable ammount of memory. But I think if
you do the maths you will see that for practical purposes
the memory requirement is quite small.

Try looking at the sh scheduler, and if that doesn't suit your
needs, think about writing your own. Or starting a discussion
on what a new sheduler may look like.
