We have been trying out different types of caching recently for a project. I am not very familiar with the whole concept of caching but the concepts and information in the discussion is very helpful.
Caching with Memcached and APC
Ben Ramsey (21.May.2010 at 09:00)
Talk at TEK·X (English - US)
Today's high-traffic web sites must implement performance-boosting measures that reduce data processing and reduce load on the database, while increasing the speed of content delivery. One such method is the use of a cache to temporarily store whole pages, database recordsets, large objects, and sessions. While many caching mechanisms exist, memcached provides one of the fastest and easiest-to-use caching servers. Coupling memcached with the alternative PHP cache (APC) can greatly improve performance by reducing data processing time. In this talk, Ben Ramsey covers memcached and the pecl/memcached and pecl/apc extensions for PHP, exploring caching strategies, a variety of configuration options to fine-tune your caching solution, and discusses when it may be appropriate to use memcached vs. APC to cache objects or data.

Thanks for the talk. I've been interested in implementing memcache for awhile, but haven't dug into the details. This gives me a lot more to work with. On the irc channel, we did have some discussion of os compatibility and I was told that libmemcached is a no-go on windows.
