-If using Linux, you need a kernel with epoll. Sure, libevent will
-work with normal select, but it sucks.
-
-epoll isn't in Linux 2.4, but there's a backport at:
-
- http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/nio-improve.html
-
-You want the epoll-lt patch (level-triggered).
-
-If you're using MacOS, you'll want libevent 1.1 or higher to deal with
-a kqueue bug.
-
-Also, be warned that the -k (mlockall) option to memcached might be
-dangerous when using a large cache. Just make sure the memcached machines
-don't swap. memcached does non-blocking network I/O, but not disk. (it
-should never go to disk, or you've lost the whole point of it)
