Hard to say without looking at things over time / looking at individual slabs. You do have a lot of evictions, so it's possible that you could benefit from using more of the memory you have allocated. List "stats slabs" and "stats items" to get more info (preferably more than once with a bit of a delay). 1.4.3 improved slab sizing, but you may have a somewhat common problem of a memcached that has learned about how your use your data and the things it learns are now wrong. -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/memcached/subscribe?hl=en
