Yes, it is. With a little bit of programming, you can serve webpages from the memcache. I regularly measure response times between 200 en 300 milliseconds. To translate that to a experience: it’s like the speed of the Google Homepage. “Look ma, my website is as fast as Google’s and it’s free” Google app engine will shake up the business of hosting. Rumours say that microsoft will launch something similar soon around their PDC event.
