Here's some comparative numbers to chew on.
One client and one server on 100Mbps network (cheapy 100Base-T switch); 50 simulated users hitting 7 URLs 100 times with flood (35,000 requests).
mod_disk_cache: Requests: 35000 Time: 40.91 Req/Sec: 856.78 mod_mem_cache: Requests: 35000 Time: 54.90 Req/Sec: 637.81 no cache: Requests: 35000 Time: 54.86 Req/Sec: 638.81 squid: Requests: 35000 Time: 105.35 Req/Sec: 332.25
mod_disk_cache completely filled out the network at ~50% CPU usage. [Can't push through more than ~8MB/sec (~64Mb/sec) without GigE.] mod_mem_cache filled up the CPU but not the network [Poor scaling characteristics. It goes to 100% CPU with just 5 users!]
mod_mem_cache is broken then. It used to kick the pants off of 'no cache' and mod_disk_cache.
