antirez has written a lot about Redis virtual memory, which is worth checking out if you are using Redis:

- antirez 16y agoThanks Amix, there is also the user guide available: * http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/VirtualMemoryUserGuide http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/VirtualMemoryUserGuide Redis 2.2.0 will be a memory optimization release so even with VM disabled this new version of Redis is going to take a very small percentage of the current memory in order to store small lists and sets (for instance less than ~200 elements), like it happens already with hashes.
