Hi, I recently set up the Typo blog on an old Celeron 433 with 512mb RAM. I''ve put Debian stable on there and its running Apache 2 with FastCGI. I''ve installed the fcgi and mysql gems and the thing seems to run for the little access it gets. I recently tried to get some perfomance figures of this server (using the Apache benchmarking tool) by running # ab -n 100 192.168.0.1/ , and it ended up returning around 3-4 responses per second. To me this seems incredibly slow ... PHP scripts give me much better results. Does this figure sound about right for my setup? or is there something seriously wrong with the way I have it configured? As far as I can see, nothing seems to be wrong apart from performance. 5 FastCGI processes (dispatch.fcgi) are spawned with Apache using the following line in the Apache config files: FastCgiServer /home/sam/typo/public/dispatch.fcgi -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -idle-timeout 60 -processes 5 I should have a more powerful computer to do some tests on within the next week, but it would be really good to know in advance what sort of performance I should be getting on this setup. Thanks in advance, Sam Pohlenz
