Need help understanding memcached stats

[Scott Newman]

I'm new to memcached, and I'm having trouble understanding what the
numbers in the stats output. I looked around, but couldn't find much
documentation beyond misses and hits.

If anyone knows of some documentation, or would be willing to explain
what the numbers represent, I'd be grateful.

Here are the stats I'm looking at. I can't tell from looking at them
if my cache is tuned well.
