I haven't had an issue with berkeley db since 4.2 , however there are
db lock issues and general unpleasantness abound when you have a
power failure type reboot

Memcached is volatile -- power goes / reboot, you lose everything.

with bdb on a single machine, you're still apt to run into time
issues from locking by competing apache children on the bdb - i'm not
sure how they would measure, but them in addition to the ridiculously
small amount of overhead any pageload would create make me thing the
backend store is negligible in the greater scheme
personally, i would do something that has the potential to scale to
multiple servers:
write to postgres + memcached
read from memcached, failover to postgres
if you wanted, you could do a bdb store locally per-machine instead
of memcached.
if you're doing bdb, you're stuck with that only working on a single
webapp machine -- unless you write a daemon to handle queries to it.
its not as fast as other solutions, but it will take the same amount
of time to code and will infinitely scale, so you only do the work 1x.
re: deployment
i think the mod_perl support on the 'enterprise linux' platforms are
pretty bad -- they're often way out of date. public distros, like
ubuntu, are usually up-to date.
freebsd support is the best, much thanks to philip porting to
freebsd within minutes of the source code release (btw, freebsd is
definitely an 'enterprise level' product )
windows support is pretty good.
i'm pretty sure that the only reason why some distros have better
support for mp , is that certain companies who have multiple servers
of a given OS find it much easier to manage the port, so they can
keep all their internal stuff up-to-date.
