Simucached

Simucached is a memcached simulator. It is event-based and multi-threaded, and can execute GET and SET commands sent over the memcached ASCII protocol. It does not, however, do anything useful. SET commands are shoveled into /dev/null, and GET commands receive fake replies.

This program exists merely to ask the question, "How fast COULD memcached be?"
