[pLog-svn] Memcache

[Jon Daley]

 	I haven't played with memcache, so I can't really say.  You 
probably should make a copy, upgrade, and play around with the settings to 
do a more rigorous profiling to see which is better.
 	One person recently complained on the forums of a load increase 
from 1.0.6 to 1.1, but I am not convinced he knows what he is talking 
about.  I no longer notice any loads from the lifetype installations, 
although I do have more customers, so there is more load in general than 
there used to be.
 	If you aren't using mod_php, the renice solution works very 
nicely for keeping resserver loads down, but I only use that in my biggest 
lt installation, I don't need it on the smaller installations.

Our most basic problem is not that we want too much.  On the contrary,
it is that we are content with too little.
