I see that my patch for garbage collection is still being ignored, and your post gives me some idea about why it is so. I think that RAM is a real problem, because currently (without GC) you have no clue about how much RAM you really need. So you can end up blindly buying more and more machines, which effectively means that multiget works worse and worse (client issues one big multiget but it gets split into many packets to many servers). Currently we try to get number of servers in the cluster smaller based on the reall consumption to get more from multiget feature.
I would never, never, never want my memcached daemon ram usage to fluctuate wildly. Eviction rate is a much better determination of how well your cache is being used.
