I was wondering about this too, as I was seeing the query cache being just as fast. What should qualify for memcache then? I imagine html snippets which includes data already fetched. However I'm already using Smarty, so I can't just grab the html and stuff it back to memcache, can I? What are some good places to use memcache?
