size of allocated memcache

[Aleksei Rovenski]

Hi all,

I have somewhat wierd memcache stats. As I understood from reading the docs memcache size grows with the traffic of your app. However in practice I don't see that, quite the opposite actually. I have 2 apps, one is for development (almost zero traffic) and the other one is live (5-30 requests per seconds depending on time of the day). The dev app has 128Mb of cache and items many hours old, the live app has only about 25Mb of cache and oldest item is only 2 minutes. I'm not setting expiration to cached values, so they are pushed out by memcache, almost all of the caching is handled by Objectify (@Cached annotation on entities). Any bits of wisdom what can I do to increase the cache size or is it normal?

cheers,

Aleksei

i'd be interested in this as well.  i observe a similar behavior with my python apps.

i'm beginning to wonder if setting expires time would actually help that?
