It's been benchmarked to 80,000 queries a second.

But TEST it carefully. Sometimes memcache is fast. Sometimes it's slower than even NFS. It really, really depends on the workload.

A semi truck is the fastest way to get a load of lumber across town. A motorcycle is faster to carry a letter. The motorcycle would take a month to carry the lumber though, one piece at a time. Sometimes memcache is the right tool for the job. Often, memcache is exactly the wrong tool for the job.
