Very interesting.
Perhaps I should point out that my reported experience with blob I/O bottleneck problems have been in systems where the database contents were buffered in RAM, and not related to disk I/O. In theory, such a database should be fast enough to do anything that memcached promises to do. In practice, poorly designed software can easily slow down any hardware.
