Can you tell us a bit more about what products wrpme is similar to and why it is better, and how it works?

wrpme is similar to memcachedb.

We believe it's better because it's faster. It's also using a binary protocol for reduced bandwidth usage. Many caches uses text or xml to transmit data.

The design is highly asynchronous and designed to work on a 64-bit multiprocessor computer.

wrpme is actually a collection of mini daemons (we call them nanodaemons) that execute simple tasks and communicate via messages. It's been inspired by microkernel operating systems.
