Another benefit I just remembered (on why I like doing it myself):

I was finding that one of the PHP scripted clients wasn't always picking the
'right' server because of the way it handles large number/integers.  It
would randomly pick completely different servers than the Perl and Python
clients would.  By being able to roll my own 'pick' function, I can make
sure my PHP scripts will pick the same servers as the Perl and Python
clients will.

Just think of the memcache.so client as a low level replacement for the PHP
script clients - you really shouldn't "use it raw", but wrap it inside of
your own memcache class.

And it still blows away the scripted versions.

PS, Antony:  the latest release fixed all the problems I was having with
PHP5; I'm no longer getting the weird segment violations in Apache2.
Thanks. :)

that is certainly one way to do it. :)

other APIs seem to automatically handle pulling data from multiple
sources, thus treating all the memcacheds as one giant cache. do you
have any plans to support that, or should i just roll my own?
