Hi all, I have a strange configuration problem I ordered Debian VPS and installed Rails with all the necessary components with and deploying a dating site. But this is my first system admin work as well. I was surfing site I develop and when it performs so good on my local computer it is having problems on my VPS. Let my production log explain it Completed in 0.79161 (1 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 1.49198 (188%) | DB: -0.70445 (-88%) | 200 OK [http://hidden.com/dating/home] And problematic part is (50% of the time same page): Completed in 8.75947 (0 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 1.44400 (16%) | DB: 7.30785 (83%) | 200 OK [http://hidden.com/dating/home] As you see DB is taking sometimes more then 7 seconds and sometimes almost none. I will appreciate any input or direction.
