java memcached client & tomcat

[Jure Petrovic]

Hello,

I would say it's java in general.

I was doing some benchmarking tests with java and C client.
The CPU load was especially high when doing put() in a loop.
Even with POJO.
When under stress, java client used significantly more cpu resources
than C client. However, if there was not a lot of traffic, things were
pretty comparable.

Regards,
Jure

Hi!

It is pretty much possible, that the built-in Java
serialization/deserialization burns many CPU cycles. We also bumped
into this problem. We implemented custom serialization/deserialization
methods for our heavily-used objects. It saved a lot of memory on the
memcached nodes and a lot of CPU time on the application server nodes.
Use a profiler to check the cause of the increased CPU usage.
