New Features
Slab automover has gotten a very large update. The wider discussion can be found in the pull request.

As data is stored into memcached, it pre-allocates pages of memory into slab classes of a particular size (ie: 90 bytes, 120 bytes). If you fill your cache with 90 byte objects, and then start writing 120 byte objects, there will be much less space available for 120 byte objects.

With the slab automover improvements, freed memory can be reclaimed back into a global pool and reassigned to new slab classes. You can also still manually move slab pages between classes with your own external process if the automover does not fit your needs (see doc/protocol.txt for full details).

The automover now attempts to rescue items which are still valid when moving a page from one class to another, or from one class into the global page pool. This makes it much less destructive.

To get all of the benefits of the last few releases, we recommend adding the following startup options:
Code:
-o slab_reassign,slab_automove,lru_crawler,lru_maintainer
A modern start line includes a few other items:
Code:
-o slab_reassign,slab_automove,lru_crawler,lru_maintainer,maxconns_fast,hash_algorithm=murmur3
Many of these options are likely to become defaults in the future.
