You can use the "-s" and "-f" options to change, respectively, the minimum chunk size (on which the other chunk sizes are based) and the multiplier that determines how many chunk sizes there are. The formula is
chunk size(0) = whatever you specify with -s, plus space for object header chunk size(n) = chunk size(n-1) * multiplier specified with -f where each chunk size is rounded up to sizeof(void *) (8 bytes on a 64-bit system). So by playing with the -s and -f options you can fine-tune the sizing. -Steve On 6/27/07 7:29 AM, "mimmo pasticcio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using memcached to serve XML files between Apache, I'm reading > about memory management and "slabs" subsystem.
