php memcache vs memcached

The newer memcached PHP extension was created recently by some guys at Digg.
It has some new features and performance enhancements.

Here’s a comparison

But, the interface is not identical.

We’re going with memcache over memcached for it’s guaranteed backward compatibility.
The newer memcached has some additional features that I’m not really interested in.

If I had to worry about supporting over 10,000 daily uniques, it might be a different story.
