Sorry for bringing out this post from dead. However, i thought it would
be helpful to others hence this.

The maximum size of data which memcache can load depends on a macro
POWER_BLOCK (in slabs.c). If we modify this macro to higher values, say
2 MB of more, memcache would be able to handle data larger than 1 MB but
less than equals 2MB.

A better approach would be to make it a parameter to memcache hence
eliminating the need to compile every time you need to increase memory.
