Two new releases added which help make the websites of The Robot Co-op go fast.
memcache-client is a much faster memcached client than Ruby-memcache (beware if you have both installed with Rails, I don't know what happens). cached_model stores ActiveRecord objects in memcache for speedy retrieval.
I think the script below gives incorrect results.
It seems what's happening is that the library doesn't want to write large values into the cache; so after attempting to set the new value into the cache I still read out the old results.
I would have liked either the setting expression to throw an exception or return a detectable value (nil? an error class?) or something like that.
An easy workaround is to use set() which happily returns an error value; and the workaround I ended up with simply rewrites []= to detect the error message from set.
