hi memcached users/devvers, I'm seeing occasional slowdowns (tens of milliseconds) in setting some keys on some big servers (80GB RAM allocated to memcached) which contain a large number of keys (many millions). The current version I use is 1.4.6 on RH6.
The thing is once I bounce the service (restart, not flush_all), everything becomes fine again. So could a large number of keys be the source of the issue (some memory allocation slowdown or something)? I don't see that many evictions on the box, and anyway, evicting an object to make room for another shouldn't take long, should it? Is there a remote possibility the large number of keys is at fault and splitting the daemons, like 2 or more instances per box, would fix it? Or is that a known issue fixed in a later release? Thanks for any insight. David Morel
