 * Hi there,
    I tried to use batcache with memcached. Everytime i put object-cache.
   php in wp-content i get a fatal error in almost any page of my sites (multisite)
   saying it exceeded memory. I’ve set a memory limit to 50mb but it tries to allocate
   like 100mb or 200mb.. Any idea?
 * Thanks!

 * Ok nevermind. The cause was a bogus plugin which was filling a lot of junk in
   the database, which in turned was cached by memcache, so it was using twice more
   memory somehow.
 * Someday somebody will have to explain me why wordpress by default eats up memory
   like a pig.. Especially the dashboard.
