Please clarify me on memcached efficiency

2011-07-25 Thread Chetan Gadgilwar
I have one question, if multiple users are accessing a DB then the speed get decreases then is it the same thing with memcached if number of users access the same cached data? or it would work smoothly without any effect if number of users are increases? -- Best wishes, Chetan Gadgilwar

Chetan, In short, memcached, stores data on memory, not on secondary device like a HDD. DB is stored on a hdd. This makes memcached very fast as compared to a DB. But since memory is limited, it only stores some data. So MFU (Most Frequently Used) algo can be configured. Or Most Recently Used
