Memcache uses an outdated and slow hash and hashtable.
This is using jemalloc and a concurrent hashtable. Seems to be miles better.

No it doesn't. A cursory scan through the code will tell you as much.
Exactly why I told so. I even started to improve it some years ago, but got sidetracked. The only nice thing about the code are signals on htable updates. But a proper, fast concurrent hashtable would work wonders.
Not this again...
