As a point of interest, a reaper command could be useful. It is not something we would ever run while our site is live, but, if we're taking the site down to do a code update, and likely flushing or restarting memcache anyway, the time it takes to run wouldn't matter, and it would be a great way to see how much memcache space we really need. We're getting a 95% hit rate with our 30gb, but, would 10gb be enough? With the latest version we will be able to tell if we're getting any evictions, but that just tells us if we don't have enough space, not if we've got way too much.
There was talk of adding a new statistic to capture information about the number of items pushed from cache before their expiration time; that would also give you the same information. I'm not sure if there was a patch for that, or if it is in the current release. -- jehiah
