+If you want to connect to Redis configured to listen on an unix socket (which is

+``config.php`` configuration::

 .. note:: Large installations especially benefit from setting 
    ``memcache.locking``. File locking is enabled by default, which uses the 
    database locking backend. This places a significant load on your database.
