"Yes, Drupal does have a memcache module, but from my own investigation it doesn't speed up, if at all."
>From the FAQ: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/NewProgrammingFAQ#Can_using_memcached_make_my_application_slower? I'm not sure how broad your investigation was, but if you're just running Drupal on one machine, benchmarking a few hundred requests per second, it's not likely to be much faster, no. A not-that-stressed MySQL instance will have no problem handling basic CMS queries. memcached was really designed to reduce unnecessary load on the database servers, and if you're not seeing slowdown either due to load, or do to complex joins/triggers/etc., you're not going to see again--turning on APC for Drupal would have a better yield for one machine. Apologies if that's not the case, but it comes up not-infrequently. - Marc On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 4:42 PM, Boris Partensky <boris.parten...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not php, but subversion server uses memcached for some internal FSFS caching. > > On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 7:29 PM, Fuzzpault <fuzzpa...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Anyone know of any open source projects (preferably in php) which use >> memcache at its core, or that is greatly accelerated with it? >> I've got some ideas for speeding up memcache and reducing network traffic >> and am in need of some app to stress.
