Hey folks, Yes, please use persistent connections. Be wary of potential bugs causing connections to stack up (creating too many objects, creating a new persistent connection per pageview, etc). The PHP clients make this relatively difficult to do but it's still possible.
Also, for note, any recent benchmark I've done has shown identical performance for sockets against 127.0.0.1 compared to UNIX domain sockets. The enefit of unix domain sockets is more to avoid ... I dunno. Allow a daemon to be restricted by a particular user via file ownership permissions. have fun, -Dormando On Fri, 30 Jan 2009, Abhinav Gupta wrote: > I am now thinking of using persistent connection for connecting to memcache > server. > so that we don't have to create connection again and again, i think this > will also lower some over head of TCP/IP for local machine. > > Regards, > > -- > ============================================================================================ > > "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" > ============================================================================================= > Abhinav Gupta > Software Engineer @99acres.com >
