[SRILM User List] Cache model, ngram server

[Simon Andersson]

Nickolay Shmyrev reports that he included the feature in Sphinx 4:

http://nsh.nexiwave.com/2009/11/using-srilm-server-in-sphinx4.html

(He also confirmed to me that it is not in PocketSphinx.)

I'll use Nickolay's code as a reference when making a PocketSphinx version.
