Description

cmemcache is a python wrapper around the libmemcache C library. According to the website:
cmemcache is about 2 times faster then python-memcache with short key names (8 characters), faster with larger key names.

That is a speed improvement that many django users would welcome. Since the cmemcache module is api-compatible with the current memcache module, all that's needed was a simple import clause.

There is still a fallback in case cmemcache cannot be found.
