Google App Engine - memcache.get is slow

I'm using memcache to implement performance gains when reading variables from the datastore. But as it turns out, memcache.get() seems slow.

Here's the code:

def get_settings():
    settings = memcache.get('ds-settings')

I call get_settings() inside a model _from_pb to run some checks everytime there is a read from the datastore, and have measured that 85/90% of the time it takes ~7ms to run, and the other 10%, it takes ~70ms to run. When running this 100, 1k or 10k times inside a loop, it becomes a serious problem.

Any suggestions on how to make reading memcache faster?

why would you run this in a loop? if you want to multiple keys, batch them by calling memcache.get_multi.
