  1. In this group many people recommend using the memcache module for authenticated users. But what does exactly this module? Putting the core cache tables in memory? Or something else?

  2. And what’s the difference between using memcache.inc or memcache.db.inc?

  3. Is there is a good doc for using memcached with Drupal?

Thx a lot.

I highly recommend taking a look at the Cache Router and Authcache modules...

For those that are wondering about the multi-instance of memcached setup (it really created a huge performance boost for larger Drupal sites), I am attaching the modified init file [based on RedHat/CentOS/Fedora] and the settings.php modifier for combining both Authcache and Memcache API together.
