On one of my apps, the pure-ruby memcached library was no faster than storing and fetching objects directly ton an from a postgres database. OTOH, the native memcached client produced factor-of-3 improvements in the speed of the slowest html pages.

Evan recommended in the support forum to use the Ruby client and C library from this page: http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/01/24/secret-codes/ Hope this works so we can see how they stack up. Having similar or better performance without compiling a lib/gem would be great! The 0.14/0.26 version of the memcached gem doesn’t work.

The instructions in the README simply don't work. It doesn't matter how fast something is if it doesn't install. I could not get the memcached gem to install on OSX.
