Confused on scaling memcached & persistant connections (w/ the PECL client)

[Jehiah Czebotar]

I use the python memcache client, and i'm not sure if i mentioned it
on the list before or not, but I found it pretty easy to write a
pooling memcache class. While I agree with the comments about linux
being able to handle the connections, a smart use of resources is
always nice, and a pooling class addresses that in a much
easier/cleaner way than a proxy would. For me it dropped my
connections to a tenth of their previous number.
