Hi,
Any idea what a good setting for Memcached Cache and Session cache size would be? We have on average about 60-80 concurrent users, a moderately sized site with less than 2000 pages and plenty of memory on the server.
Currently we have:
CACHESIZE = 1024 for cache
CACHESIZE = 128 for sessions
But after a few days these have reached the size limits of 1GB and 128M (as seen with top command) - presumably they purge themselves of the oldest entries?
The real reason I ask is some things actually seem faster when memcache 'cache' is cleared by restarting the process. Our search is quicker search for example on searching new words?
Also memcached-sessions process size never reduces even when most are logged out, such as late at night? Should I set up a cron to restart the memcached processes periodically?
Could too large a value for memcached sessions or memcached cache be a bad thing?
Thanks in advance.
