In a one to one comparison, memcached may not be faster than your SQL queries. However, this is not its goal. Memached’s goal is scalability. As connections and requests increase, memcached will perform better than most database only solutions. Please test your code under high load with simultaneous connections and requests before deciding memcached is not right for you.
