Where to keep static arrays of data

Hi,

Just a question regarding the following code

class SomeModel < AR::Base
FOO_LOOKUP = YAML::load_file(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config',
'foo_lookup.yml'))
end

Why should the model inherit from ActiveRecord::Base ?
Would the array be loaded only once if such a class was in the lib
(without AR inheritance) instead of app/models (which may require the
inheritance) ?

Thanks for your help
I'm quite interested in keeping static arrays like that in memory but
having YAML files constantly being read and structures filled would
ruin all targeted performance gain.
