PHP memcache presentation

May 3, 2007

Hrm… My previous post on this seems to have been eaten.
David Rasch put together a great presentation on using memcache with PHP for our local PHP user group last night. In the interest of time and expediency, we didn’t touch on everything the PHP memcache extension provides (namely distributed caching between multiple memcached servers). We did see some startingly good improvements with the benchmarks he showed. Yes, the example was slightly contrived, in that we could have seen much of that improvement with proper indexing, but by and large that was understood by everyone. I’ve linked to both of the sites above because David should post his S5 presentation to at least one of those sites in the next day or so.
