I have installed memcahe on my Ubuntu server and I know it is functioning properly (running on the default port of 11211)

I then installed this module and configured as outlined in the docs:

$conf = array(
   'cache_inc' => './sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc',
);

When I benchmark the performance using Apache Benchmark there is a significant reduction in the HTTP Requests per second.
Without memcache I get 20 request per second, with memcache I get 5.

According to the Memcache status:

Can soemone point me in the right direction for getting it to run properly?

your array does not define the memcached instance like:

<?php

'memcache_servers' => array('localhost:11211' => 'default',
'localhost:11212' => 'pages'),
'memcache_bins' => array('cache_page' => 'pages'),

look for more in the documentation.

It is only missconfigured.

It's much harder to upgrade the latest development version (which will be 6.x-1.5), but either way solved per the above reply.
