I had lunch with these guys recently. We also discussed twemcache,
their fork of memcached.
http://engineering.twitter.com/2012/07/caching-with-twemcache.html
It's all internal "heads down" engineering as far as I can tell, but IMO,
it doesn't do anything I haven't already done with regular memcached,
especially given Dormando's slab rebalancing work.
I'm sure the work's good, but huge forks means doing things the hard way.
