Comment on Show HN: Pogocache – Fast caching softwareComments−jasonthorsness1yThe README doesn’t seem to explain _why_ it is faster. Is it just highly hand-optimized? Is there some main technique used?−tidwallOP1yYes, it is highly hand optimized. There's a description of some of the methods I used near the bottom of there README. I mainly focused on minimizing contention, with the sharded hashmap and such. But the networking layer is carefully crafted.
