The tradeoff is especially worthwhile because we export complex data structures (I wrote a great deal of articles about this, please check the latest at antirez.com), but this time I'll try to provide a proof by paradox: what you are saying here is that memcached may be replaced with TC from the point of view of performances, if you add an LRU expiry, that I think it's not true.

I'm using Kyoto cabinet to serialize various hashlist-based-classes and I'm wondering what bottlenecks etc. I might encounter are. I'll take a look at your site.
