Dancing About Architecture: Microfeed for "Java Concurrency in Practice" http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/001867.html Comments for the entry "Java Concurrency in Practice" en-us Movable Type v3.21 eric@burningdoor.com http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss eric@burningdoor.com Tue, 27 Jun 2006 03:50:48 -06:00 This is a "Microfeed" that tracks the comments for one particular item on my blog. Comment from Kevin Burton For the record... I'd highly recommend against using local caches.

Use memcached... local memory usage is evil and doesn't scale.

The Java memcached driver is pretty damn good but it doesn't scale linearly just yet. It needs NIO support which is on my agenda one of these days.

In general though its better to avoid threads if at all possible...
