Hey just curious if you ever bumped into a wall on this?  I've been playing 
around with a memcache-based counter, using periodic persistence via a 
task-queue to keep things "close enough" in the database.

I've been hitting a wall at between 500-1000 locked memcache operations per 
second.  I've been thinking of doing some kind of sharding in memcache to 
deal with this, as it seems that the contention is coming from waiting on 
synchronized memcache, not processor time.
