 * Sorry, I did not see this when you posted it, but to be honest, I don’t know,
   I’ve never used it. This plugin caches data using the WP transients API.

 * To answer this question, after doing some research, there is no reason that this
   plugin should not work with memcached.
 * Although, I’m not sure that this plugin will increase the speed of a site that
   is already using memcached. From what I’ve read memcached will store the cache
   for longer periods so adding this plugin on top of that may just create extra
   work that is never used.
 * The only time that the addition of this plugin would be useful is if the cache
   expiration set up in this plugin is longer than the expiration time of memecached.
   Otherwise you’ve done an extra DB query to store an object in the database that
   will be expired by the time it’s ever needed again.
