Memoize::Memcached 2x speedup

While profiling Koha with memcached turned on I was stunned by NYTProf results:

Calls 	P 	F 	Exclus  Inclus  Subroutine
55	2	1	1.70s	1.70s	Memoize::Memcached::EXISTS
55	2	1	1.68s	1.68s	Memoize::Memcached::FETCH

Code analysts showed that it generates two FETCH requests for each item.

Attached patch fixes upstream module and might be beneficial on existing Koha installations which use memcached.

It uses shared variable, and it's safe in CGI installations.

Having shared variable showed another characteristic of current code: 

55	2	1	33.8ms	33.8ms	Memoize::Memcached::EXISTS
55	2	1	362µs	362µs	Memoize::Memcached::FETCH

This is good, but a little bit too fast. Examining hit and miss ratio stored in Koha::Persistant::stats it turns out that we are accessing memcache 106 times, but only 4 times for new values.

Dobrica, this is still valid? Where is the "discussion"?

This report was made on a very old version of Koha and hasn't been updated since. I think we should consider it closed.

Bug 16770 removed this dependency.

fyi, this is still probably a valid issue for M::M (but, its not technically a Koha bug)

 http://search.cpan.org/~tcohen/Memoize-Memcached-0.04/lib/Memoize/Memcached.pm

i think this M::M bug may describe the problem?
