Hey Alexey, thanks you for our input. I think what you say is correct, and we reviewed our disk setup again. We are utilizing mechnical discs so it's kinda hard to compare SSD performance to them. But they should provide enought IOPS for our load. Unfortunatly we can't just switch to a single

Hi, just curious – why not superserver? I do not know what your system do and if it is cpu intensive – but i always use superserver because of big cache and this is for me biggest speed up. I use superserver in environment with ~400 connections (near constant) and high load without problem.
