Talk:Tugela Cache

I'm curious why this would be preferable to hitting the mysql cluster that's backing memcached anyway. It seems like in both cases you'd be pretty much doing a search on a b[+*]-tree index.

Another option is to simply set the Memcached server processes to a size *larger* than physical ram. The OS will swap out the infrequently used pages; and probably do this more efficiently than BDB.

Tugela + tmpfs

I wonder if placing Tugela's DB in a tmpfs partition could improve or damage the performance (?)
