Well, I'm using the cache very intensively. Doing about 1,000+ requests/second. Memcached seem to be running fine most of the time, but sometimes it just let the request hang and timeout after 1 second. With so many queries/second, when it hangs, it quickly makes a lot of Apache "waiting" and eventually completely overload the web servers.
Are you running memcached threaded? If not you should. If you are, you need more threads maybe?
I'm now trying with one big cache on a single server, and it seems to run better. The Memcached server is not loaded at all. Still sometimes the request take 500ms or even do some timeouts.
That makes less sense. Unless you just had flaky hardware.
Is 1,000+ hits per second a lot for Memcached or is it still a normal usage?
Yes, that is quite normal. -- Brian Moon Senior Developer/Engineer ------------------------------ When you care enough to spend the very least. http://dealnews.com/
