Thanks for the feedback. We're not new memcached users. We've been running memcached happily on Windows for more than a year now. Our Windows machines are where the extra ram is. I could pay for another dedicated Linux server, but it doesn't make much sense as we're processing a good number of requests happily now and the upgrade is by choice for us. With performance and other enhancements in 1.4, the upgrade seemed like relatively low hanging fruit except for the build availability.
