These slides are totally offbase about static files with nginx and memcached. I've benched large nginx clusters storing static file page caches in memcached against just serving them from a GFS filesystem and giving linux lots of ram for buffer cache. Got about 8kreq/sec via nginx+memcached but got 23kreq/sec from nginx+filesystem with lots of buffer cache.
Umm most of the slides appear empty to me with one or two lines written in each slide. Maybe somethings broken with my browser (ff3 on linux).
Works absolutely beautifully here with Firefox 3 on OS X.
I am having the same issue on FF3/Ubuntu(Hardy)... Hmmm...
Edit: Oddly enough, open in Opera (Linux) and you get one continuous page - no slides...
