Hi guys I have couple questions I've asked in the past but cant quite find the answers for them
1. Hoiw can we get memcache to use more of the allocated memory. On machines that im setting it to use 6886 megs it always looses about 1g that it never users. 2. What is a good number to allocate on a machine based on its total ram. I want to use as much memory as possible since the machine is dedicated only to memcache. on a machine with a total of 7872040 kbytes i'm starting it with 6836 megs which comes out to total of 7168065536 bytes 7000064Kbytes leaving in theory 872040K to deal with OS but i've still experienced times where the kernel kills the process because it runs out of memory. 3. how much should i allocate of memory per connection? I'm using Amazon EC2 so im trying to get as much performance out of each machine as possible. My instances at this point are using about 6800 connections at peaks.
