Seems like both EnyimMemcached (http://enyimmemcached.codeplex.com/) and BeITMemcached (http://code.google.com/p/beitmemcached/) are popular .NET Memcached libraries. Both are reasonably active projects under development and have over a thousand downloads. Trying to figure out which one to use but found competing remarks! I did read another related post but still want to ask more people on this before making a decision.
EnyimMemcached claims on its project homepage (http://enyimmemcached.codeplex.com/), that
based on our non-disclosed specially handcrafted in-house performance test we're the fastest C# client ever, using negative amount of system resources, be it memory or CPU time
and
we follow memcached's protocol specification as strictly as no one else: even the memcached guys ask us if they don't understand something
While BeITMemcached claims on its project wiki page (http://code.google.com/p/beitmemcached/wiki/Features) that
We have performed extensive functional testing and performance testing of the BeIT Memcached client and we are satisifed that it is working as it should. When we compared the performance against two other clients, the java port and the Enyim memcached client, our client consumed the least resources and had the best performance. It is also following the memcached protocol specifications more strictly, has the most memcached features, and is still much smaller in actual code size.
So for those who have experience on these or anything similar, which client did you choose to use and possibly why you chose the one you chose?
Thank you,
Ray.
