If using persistent connections yes, only initial negotiation would be
impactful you're right.

Brian said you can dump the cache... My notes from OSCON: "you can
dump your data using "memdump" - pulls back a meg worth of keys, also
has a C API for it" so it sounds like you -can- not that you have a
legitimate reason to need to... :p

(yes it's sort of not really the point.)

Also the whole "you should display warnings" thing is -annoying-

I have an open with mod_passenger folks because starting nginx with
mod_passenger compiled in, but not actually activated results in a
warning about "hey, you have passenger compiled but not enabled"

I can't even think of a proper metaphor for that. Obviously if you
your app isn't working, -maybe- you didn't configure it properly in
the webserver... at some point you have to stop treating
administrators and such as idiots. If they -are- idiots hopefully they
get demoted or fired. Not hope that the software is so overly verbose
about everything it prods you along with everything (and where do you
stop? Someone else will want more than a notice about binding IP
addresses. They'll want something telling them "hey you could use more
RAM for the cache" or who knows what else)

There's a reason you interview someone and look for their skills for a
position. Otherwise we could go hire a hobo on the street for as
little as possible just to have a warm body pushing buttons.
