If you install Drupal here, one module you will want to install is the Memcache module.

Just as with the Tribe Object Cache plugin for WordPress, this module uses Memcached to cache rendered pages and other objects and can speed up page loading by as much as 100 times.  It won’t speed up every page but if a page has already been visited and is using the same data, it can speed it up several hundred times.  It can also speed up pages where common content is on multiple pages.
