True, but I am finding that balancing CPU and RAM can be tricky. Slapping 128GB on a 1-core machine means you quickly have CPU limitations.

Redis is single-threaded and will have no problem saturating a 10G NIC with a single socket.

My concern is how fast it takes a CPU to scan through all of that memory.

What "scanning"? That's not how memory access works in a K/V store, and Redis does very little work that demands much of the CPU.
