Give Memcache daemon more memory

[markjaquith]

The Memcache daemon is set up to use 64 MB of RAM. We should consider bumping that to 128 MB so that sites with a lot of cache entries can be fully tested.

see #68

I think this goes back to our previous discussion of what is appropriate on the 512 MB basic box. If you crank up the RAM of the VM, then 256 or 128 MB makes a lot more sense. Maybe we can set this during provisioning to be 1/8th of the system RAM? That way if you resize your Vagrant, you'll automatically get more cache space to play with. I will preempt you and note that this would easy to do with Puppet (or Salt or Chef).

@markjaquith I've been using http://livebookmark.net/journal/2008/05/21/memcachephp-stats-like-apcphp/ to view memcached statistics and have been finding most sites use way less cache space than I anticipated (or initially allocated), making me think 64 MB might be plenty in most scenarios. What has your experience been?

About to close this with a commit as well. Agreed that 128M seems like the correct value.

Would like to continue to discuss possible stats/monitor tools for inclusion at the default URL.
