php, python, perl, again.

[Paul T]

Brian,

 1. What are the sizes of the *values*?

 2. Now for your curiosity - wrap the 

 for($x=0;$x<100;$x++){
    $var = $MEMCACHE->get("thing$x");
 }

 In:
 
 for($iterations=0;$iterations<10000;$iteration++){
    for($x=0;$x<100;$x++){
      $var = $MEMCACHE->get("thing$x");
    }
 }

 Measuring 100 iterations rarely makes sense.

Rgds.Paul.
