memcached Digest, Vol 35, Issue 29

[Steve Grimm]

You can use the "-s" and "-f" options to change, respectively, the minimum
chunk size (on which the other chunk sizes are based) and the multiplier
that determines how many chunk sizes there are. The formula is

chunk size(0) = whatever you specify with -s, plus space for object header
chunk size(n) = chunk size(n-1) * multiplier specified with -f

where each chunk size is rounded up to sizeof(void *) (8 bytes on a 64-bit
system). So by playing with the -s and -f options you can fine-tune the
sizing.
