Except that when you use memcache you lose the benefits of the cache
between restarts.   There are many organizations that use cache sizes
large enough so that the entire 90+% of the data needed for the
operating system and applications comes from the cache.

After a restart all that is then required is for a series of FetchStatus
calls to be performed.
