for memcached. One of the questions that other developers in my organisation had was whether instantiating to use multiple connections to various memcached servers has much overhead vs. a single connection to the memcached server running on localhost
There's no inherent cost to having more than one connection in any network application. The cost of having memcached on localhost vs. a remote box is essentially your network latency. Some client-server apps like MySQL can use pipes when talking to localhost and avoid the overhead of TCP sockets, but memcached always uses TCP sockets, so that isn't a factor. - Perrin
