-You can get a significant boost in performance by caching some

-enabled: Set to true to enable. Default false.
-server: a string with the hostname of the memcached server. Can also
-    be an array of hostnames, if you've got more than one server.
-base: memcached uses key-value pairs to store data. We build long,
-    funny-looking keys to make sure we don't have any conflicts. The
-    base of the key is usually a simplified version of the site name
-    (like "Identi.ca" => "identica"), but you can overwrite this if
-    you need to. You can safely ignore it if you only have one
-    StatusNet site using your memcached server.
-port: Port to connect to; defaults to 11211.
