Hi Stephen, Thanks for the quick reply, your numbers are pretty close to ours, we have fewer pageviews but many more cache gets per page.
However, your CPU usage indicates the same problem we saw with the windows version on a setup of a client of ours. Basically, your memcached is easting all the CPU of one core, when it should consume almost nothing. So apparently that bug isn't fixed in the windows version. :-/ It's reasonable to believe that 1.2.4 won't perform worse than 1.2.1 though, even if that bug is still around. As for your setup problems, I spent this morning searching for the answer trying to change our install, and apparently you can't specify parameters on install, you have to find the registry key ImagePath under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\memcached Server, and add your parameters there. Then when you restart the service, it should use the new parameters. /Henrik Schröder On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 2:27 PM, Stephen Johnston < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
