Well, before i didn't even have a thesaurus app. I just had 4 text files and wrote some code to load them up in memory, creating the hash maps with all the data. I put all of this in a facade/service that hid it all away, and clients just called 1 simple method in order to get the list of words that related. So if I use memcached, the memory would be used up multiple times? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
