Great to see more benchmarks out there. In my local testing, Memcached often outperforms Redis by a fair margin. Seems like AWS ElastiCache is having a large effect on the results. You may be interested in my DiskCache project: http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/diskcache/ which also benchmarks Django cache backends.
Also, disk cache seems dangerously inefficient when you have multiple web heads. Mind you, this while blog is served from disk. Django renders HTML which is dumped on disk and Nginx renders that, and falls back to Django (via uWSGI).

How did you measure memcache outperformed Redis?
