Hello,
I am experiencing an issue similar to that described here: http://drupal.org/node/81012 and would like to see if there is anyone who is familar with Drupal caching and possible converting our setup to use memcache (reference: http://www.tenpoundsound.com/blog/2005/11/drupal/memcache-drupal-impleme...). Please contact me via email.
Thank you,
Ivan

If you don't already have it running...
and you've got Drupal 4.7 - definitely check out the blockcache module. It's pretty great.
And you may want to personally contact the person running this project which has yet to completely materialize but sounds likes it almost there: http://drupal.org/project/boost

Great, thanks Caleb. I also
Great, thanks Caleb. I also contacted Arto who is doing the Boost module. Peace, Ivan
Actually,
if you do hear back from Arto and there's anything interesting and you can remember - please share. I've been wondering what's going on with this myself. :)

I have been trying to get in touch with Arto regarding the Boost module, but have not received a reply back. Still looking for what is the best caching solution to use. If anyone has any insight, please feel free to share. Thanks.
Here are the links I am keeping track of so far:
Very useful link to PHP performance group for Drupal:

Boost Module/Static pages

Split up cache table:
http://drupal.org/node/72290
Benefits:
1) selects from smaller tables are faster
2) some of the new, small tables won't change that often. This makes the mysql query cache more efficient.
File Based Caching

Fast Path Caching
http://drupal.org/project/fastpath_fscache
Relates to category module and hope to improve its caching:

memcache
I setup memcached to cache nodes by inserting some code in the node_load function and I saw a 25% increase in performance. The first tweak you need to do before getting started with memcache is to turn on mysql query caching. This alone decreased load times from 2 seconds to 700ms
