memcache - best practice

[Serhat Sakarya]

Hi Johannes,

For your cache to be useful, you need to optimize the cache hit ratio.

You have to see what the read/write ratio per object will be. The time
indication you gave isn't very useful because the only thing that matters is
the actual number of hits that cached object get before they expire. If the
number of hits is high, then caching makes a lot of sense.

Regards,

Serhat
