we have a java web application that use static object to cache values, I tried to use memecached to share cache between multiple web app, I ran a stress test comparing the performance before and after the change and here was the surprise, web app using memcached is faster then the other accessing static objects
I am using java6, tomcat6, and xmemcached
Any Idea why memcached is faster than static object access? how does xmemcached handle multi get for same key
