Hi again, > 3. I'm using prefork MPM on apache with maxclients set to 1000.
Apart from Joe's excellent profiling suggestion, I would recommend reducing maxclients to a much lower value (like say 100) and then increasing it gradually. >From your description of the sluggish response of your web server, it looks like the machine may be swapping to disk. Each of your clients fires up a Python VM taking up several tens of MB of RAM. Even if each VM takes up just 20MB (it's probably more than that), a thousand clients will eat up 20GB, forcing your machine to swap. -Rajesh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
