http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/Timeouts <-- do this to verify what your timeouts are. http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/NewServerMaint <-- for general server health http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/NewPerformance <-- how fast it should be Also make sure that your server is running the latest software available (1.4.5). 1.2.x releases are not supported anymore. -Dormando
