You'll get the best efficiency by default by using a single large instance of memcached with multiple threads, though even the default number of threads is probably okay since much of the calls are asych to the OS which will then have it's own threads doing IO on behalf of the memcached threads. I'd start there unless you have a reason to change anything else. - Matt
