Memcached is a great way to speed up rebuild times and interface speed in Movable Type.  If you have control over your own server, setting it up is actually not that difficult.  Basically you install and start a memcached daemon and then you tell Movable Type to start caching data in it by setting a MemcachedServers directive in mt-config.cgi.
