The app is running on PHP and is using the PHP memcache library: http://cn2.php.net/manual/en/ref.memcache.php I record the time it takes to render a page, and every page ends up taking 1 second or so. Most of that 1 second is due to the very first memcache get request. It happens at every page that uses memcache. The only time this problem goes away is when I run a load testing tool and start having multiple users hit the system constantly.
