Hello,

My company is running several clusters of memcache servers, each with ~ 
100GB ram, running over 40 instances.
Lately, I've looked at the slab statistics for some servers, and saw large 
variance in evicted_time between the different
 slabs, e.g., some active slabs with ~250s, and others with 270,000s.
This behavior is causing us issues since we cannot predict when an object 
will be evicted from the cache.
My questions regards the slab automove feature:
1. If I understand correctly, automove will move pages from slabs with high 
evicted time to slabs with low evicted time,
 hence trying to balance the slabs evicted time.Is my understanding correct?
2. Whats is the meaning of the "MEMCACHED_SLAB_BULK_CHECK" environment 
variable? how does it affect
 automove?
3. Are there additional args to control automove behavior?

Thanks,
Shahar
