How to install memcache
Definition:
Memcache is a high-performance memory object caching system intended to speed up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. Memcache is extremely fast. It uses libevent, which provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor, to scale to any number of open connections. On a modern Linux system memcached utilizes epoll, is completely non-blocking for network I/O, ensures memory never gets fragmented, and uses its own slab allocator and hash table to achieve 0(1) virtual memory allocation.
How it install memcache:
#curl -O http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.9-stable.tar.gz
#tar -xzvf libevent-1.4.9-stable.tar.gz
#cd libevent*
#./configure
#make
#make install
