Quite extensive thread about that recently. If you go to:

http://www.woodwind.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?restrict=;exclude=;config=Logs;method=and;format=builtin-long;sort=time;words=memorization;page=3

...and then follow it back through page 2, you'll get most of it. It
turns into a discussion about memorizing on piano after a bit.
