How to store PHP sessions in APC Cache?

Question

Storing sessions in disk very slow and painful for me. I'm having very high traffic. I want to store session in Advanced PHP Cache, how can I do this?

<?php

// to enable paste this line right before session_start():
//   new Session_APC;
class Session_APC
{
    protected $_prefix;
    protected $_ttl;
    protected $_lockTimeout = 10; // if empty, no session locking, otherwise seconds to lock timeout

    public function __construct($params=array())
    {
        $def = session_get_cookie_params();
        $this->_ttl = $def['lifetime'];
        if (isset($params['ttl'])) {
            $this->_ttl = $params['ttl'];
        }

            array($this, 'open'), array($this, 'close'),
