5 If using Linux, you need a kernel with epoll. Sure, libevent will | |
6 work with normal select, but it sucks. | |
7 | |
8 epoll isn't in Linux 2.4 yet, but there's a backport at: | |
9 | |
10 http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/nio-improve.html | |
11 | |
12 You want the epoll-lt patch (level-triggered). | |
13 | |
14 If you're using MacOS, you'll want libevent 1.1 or higher to deal with | |
15 a kqueue bug. | |
16 | |
17 Also, be warned that the -k (mlockall) option to memcached might be | |
18 dangerous when using a large cache. Just make sure the memcached machines | |
19 don't swap. memcached does non-blocking network I/O, but not disk. (it | |
20 should never go to disk, or you've lost the whole point of it) | |
