I really wouldn't call this an alternative. If you are running memcached, it's very unlikely you can switch to Groupcache.
Parts of your application may rely on the expiration feature. But the biggest change is the inability to overwrite a current cache key. Every application I've used does this constantly (object updates).
Groupcache in its current form is useful for a very narrow set of applications.
