How large can cache objects be with Gear6 Web Cache, and how does this compare to standard Memcached?
Standard memcached manages memory through a pre-set selection of Memcached bucket sizes. In operation these buckets are on average only 75% full, meaning that 25% of the memory capacity is wasted. Gear6 Web Cache uses a fine-grained block-based algorithm that virtually eliminates this waste, boosting by a third its memory usage efficiency.
