I guess that's understandable, but I still don't believe using a memcached-only
caching method is a reliable solution. It'd be like a CPU relying only on
L1/2/3 cache and just not using regular memory whatsoever. Furthermore, I don't
see any disadvantage in investing in a staged caching system, where the
information is stored in memcached but also kept in the database in the case of
a cache miss. Memcached is not meant for stuff like this. (I recommend reading
this article for a better explanation:
