You mean a shared process. The cached information *can not* be shared
because it's not the same information!

Ever heard of the term "operating system"? One of the jobs such an
operating system has is to manage the memory between processes.
I'm sorry, but sharing a cache for what you describe is *not* what we
should do. It's the job of the OS to manage the memory, not the job of a
shared cache process.
Or have you ever seen something like this? Ever seen graphic editor
share the memory?
