*Cache::Memcached::Fast* is a Perl client for *memcached*, a memory cache daemon (http://www.memcached.org/). Module core is implemented in C and tries hard to minimize number of system calls and to avoid any key/value copying for speed. As a result, it has very low CPU consumption.

API is largely compatible with Cache::Memcached, original pure Perl client, most users of the original module may start using this module by installing it and adding _"::Fast"_ to the old name in their scripts (see "Compatibility with Cache::Memcached" below for full details).
