With more and more high-traffic websites looking to take advantage of the benefits of the award-winning Joomla platform, SML has announced the creation and sponsoring of the JMemcache project on Joomla's own JoomlaCode.

The purpose of the project is to integrate the wicked-fast memcache caching engine with the Joomla application framework. The benefit is enabling Joomla-based applications to take advantage of the performance benefits.

Current Status

With the addition of the memcache JCache and JSession drivers into the 1.5 core, the JMemcache project will no longer need to maintain separate driver files.

However the project will remain, in order to provide a place for customization of the drivers for unusually high-traffic sites, or sites that have unusual requirements.

Man, that was fast!
