Yes, I mistook your post as it came right after mine mentioning 200mbs etc -

I've nothing against memcached, but I just think that it's kind of like painting over cracks... not really getting to the source of the problem.
As mentioned numerous times here, a well designed db and well designed queries are much more important. If your queries are using the indices, you are pulling from ram and not disk, which is what memcached does anyway. People may not control their code, but they do control their db... log slow queries to find rogue queries is the least one should be doing.

Anyway, at least my posts served to silence NewNick with his throw away "blah blah" statements, that do more harm than good to those that don't know better.
