I reran my tests from earlier using your patch.  You can download the
test code here: http://dealnews.com/developers/memcachedv2.html

Before patch:

# python getscl.py
0.086080789566
# python getscl.py
0.0853807926178
# python getscl.py
0.086639881134
# python getscl.py
0.0858130455017
# python getscl.py
0.0852749347687
# python getscl.py
0.0857470035553

After Patch:

# python getscl.py
0.0697109699249
# python getscl.py
0.066801071167
# python getscl.py
0.0687081813812
# python getscl.py
0.0698418617249
# python getscl.py
0.069904088974
# python getscl.py
0.0695850849152

Looks like about a 19% improvement to me.  My test is quite basic however.
