Hey, I'll answer these inline, but up front: Are you having a specific problem you're tracking down, or is this just out of curiosity?
None of these are things you should waste time thinking about. Memcached handles it internally. > 1. > > I setup memcache with 55gb, however total_malloced from stats slabs says > only 41657393216, will that grow as the data grows? Yes. Memory is lazily allocated, one megabyte at a time. > 2. > > How many pages are allocated per slab? Is that dynamic or is there a > limit? It's dynamic. If you have a new enough version (> 1.5) they are also rebalanced automatically as necessary. > 3. > > We use not more than 5-6 slabs, and our largest slab is 300 byte, are > there best practices to limit the object size to 301, so that slab allocation > logic is simplified You can probably ignore this, unless you feel like there's a significant memory waste going on. You can change the slab growth factor (-f) to create more classes in the lower numbers than higher numbers but again I wouldn't bother unless you really need to. It doesn't "simplify" the logic either way. -Dormando -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "memcached" group.
