Cache::memcached::fast is a perl client for memcached, a memory cache daemon (http://www.danga.com/memcached/). module core is implemented in c and tries hard to minimize number of system calls and to avoid any key/value copying for speed. as a result, it has very low cpu consumption.

api is largely compatible with cache::memcached, original pure perl client, most users of the original module may start using this module by installing it and adding "::fast" to the old name in their scripts.
