Robin, it's impossible to nail a specific memory size as a guideline but the following should help
a) start small (~64 or 100 megs) and watch your statistics. Many people achieve high hit ratios even with small(er) amounts of memory. I get ~80% hit ratio with a small size (100Mb), and ~90% with a much larger size(1gig). It' up to you to decide how much gain you need. b) don't ever allocate enough memory that your system starts swapping. ever. -- Jehiah On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 11:19 AM, robin manapsal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I just completed installing and configuring Memcached for Django.
