855038 - Don't use memcached for l10n lang files

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Bedrock, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Newrelic has already shown us a performance issue. For some pages, particularly ones with a lot of translated strings, memcache is being hit thousands of times per page render because it asks the cache for each possible parsed lang file, for ever call to gettext, and this memcached cache expires after 60 seconds. We should do some of this in memory to lighten the load on memcache and reduce the network time required.

So after the fix the other day that keeps us from hitting memcached for en-US page views, this is no longer a priority. In fact, we now spend so little time hitting the cache, that if we improved this we'd be barely able to tell. I vote we icebox or delete this until it comes up again.
