Using memcached With Your vBulletin Forum To Reduce Server Load (Debian Etch)

In this article I will explain how you can reduce server load by using memcached together with your vBulletin
forum software (I'm assuming you are running vBulletin on Apache2 with
mod_php5). memcached is a daemon that can store objects in the system's
memory (e.g. results of database queries) which can speed up your web
site tremendously. You can use memcached over a network (i.e., install
your web application on one server and memcached on another server),
but usually you install both on one server to avoid the networking
overhead.
