See expired keys?

Use the getExtendedStats() command and compare the returned 'limit_maxbytes' 
(which is the memory amount you have set up for you memcached) and 'bytes' 
which is the actuall memory amount memcached is using right now. If they 
differ a lot you have plenty of room ;)

By comparing 'curr_items' (current objects in mc) and 'total_items' (objects 
in whole lifetime of memcached) you can get the idea if there are keys and 
how much that were pushed out.
