memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.
Danga Interactive developed memcached to enhance the speed of LiveJournal.com, a site which was already doing 20 million+ dynamic page views per day for 1 million users with a bunch of webservers and a bunch of database servers. memcached dropped the database load to almost nothing, yielding faster page load times for users, better resource utilization, and faster access to the databases on a memcache miss.

Re: Product: Memcached
Any good source to deal with issues with 'expiration time' that does NOT match the setting you use?
For example, we setting 512 items to the cache for 30min and after 10-15sec. they are all gone... (and yes - there are lots of room in the memory of the memcached process...).
Thanks.
