So I just implemented
memcached. It’s basically a system that uses hash tables to serve content directly
from memory rather than from disk.
It’s used by all the big boys, e.g. Facebook, Digg, Reddit, etc.
Facebook has some sick stats around it, actually: They have 200 Memcache
servers, all of which have 16GB of RAM, hosting a 2TB Memcache table.
And my decision to mess with this couldn’t have come at a better time:
Linode
just upgraded everyone’s RAM, so I went up by 100MB of memory, and down in
price by like $40.
Anyway, let me know if you see any speed improvements on the site.

That’s how fast my server is pushing the content to clients; a separate but
equally important stat is how quickly the client can then go pull all the
content when there is javascript in play.
