Hi

Looks like the CPU utilization for memcached goes up and just stays there (400%). If I down/up memcached, then the CPU utilization goes down to about 6%

Host: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Docker image: perfsonar/testpoint:latest. (Started with docker-compose)
memcached: VERSION 1.4.15

Top
%Cpu(s):  0.1 us,  6.2 sy,  0.0 ni, 93.4 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.3 si,  0.0 st
MiB Mem : 128743.4 total, 117899.7 free,   8877.0 used,   1966.7 buff/cache
MiB Swap:   8192.0 total,   8192.0 free,      0.0 used. 118600.7 avail Mem

PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 3292 995       20   0  363996  24208   2832 S 400.3   0.0   2736:33 memcached

I can trigger it by running some iperf2 tests manually.

Adding this option to memcached seems to fix it.
vi /etc/sysconfig/memcached
  OPTIONS="-o hashpower=31"

I think it's related to this issue:

Regards
Johann
