I have heard a lot of people talking about how libev is faster and more stable than libevent and even seen some benchmarks where its 3x as fast. Are there plans to switch memcached over?
I'm a bit dubious about libev. You have to manually specify a lot about the poller, graceful fallback seems complicated, and they try too hard to rewrite cron. If someone were to go patch memcached run some benchmarks, and post the patch/benchmarks for us to discuss. If it comes out way faster we can totally work it in as an option or something. :)
Except I _believe_ it completely lacked the libevent style thread support (which is ghetto, but does work). We do need that.
