Anyone up for some memcached programming?
Talking to myself again... I've committed some completely untested fixes for this problem to CVS, in User.php and UserTalkUpdate.php. The idea is to basically not use the database at all for anonymous users. UserTalkUpdate sets the key in memcached, and if memcached deletes it because it runs out of memory, or the server restarts, tough. User talk messages to anonymous users are only good for a few hours anyway.
I would have tested it but it's getting kind of late here.
