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 find adding this method during debugging. It sends the "flush_all" command to memcached to help protect against stale data. I find calling it as a ruby function is a bit easier from rake than doign the same through telneting to memcached.
class MemCache
def flush_all
@servers.map{|server|
sock=server.socket
sock.write "flush_all\r\n"
sock.gets
}
end
end
