Will do after my dinner ;-)

No, MySQL database too but only if DBAL is active (of course).

I fear it would have a performance hit, but you are free to use a file 
backend instead of memcached if you want. This is why when nothing is 
configured, I "fall back" to a TransientMemoryStorage.

Exactly.

You're welcome.
