We ran 1.2.4 from splinedancer.com for a few weeks in our development environment of 3 users without issue including some crush load testing. We've since deployed to our production machines.
We're running 1.2.4 in a fairly heavy environment. 30 million page views per month, 3-5 memcached hits per page. We're caching 40k items that are all pretty small across two servers in our web farm. Memcached is running well. We moved from eAccelerator because we needed distributed caching due to the process structure for PHP in Microsoft's new FastCGI implementation. My only concern is it's using more CPU than expected. CPU column on the process shows 24 almost constantly, which seems higher than I would have expected, but it doesn't seem to be effecting anything adversely and the CPU graphs seem pretty normal. I suspect that the machine is letting memcached have all the CPU it wants when it is available, but it can get by on less CPU when it has to, but that remains to be tested. In addition, I installed memcached with "X:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install -m 1024" When it installed it used the default size for the cache, 64 megs. Can anyone verify if it was an argument order issue? Should I have used "X:\memcached\memcached.exe -m 1024 -d install" instead? -Stephen On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 7:50 AM, Henrik Schröder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Kieran, Kenneth, and the list. > > Sorry for resurrecting an old thread like this, but any news on this? > > Or has anyone else been testing the 1.2.4 memcached for windows?
