Hi all Quick reply as im on the bus. Clay i stress tested with 100 concurrent requests, stepping up in 10s after, apache2 + cgi started swapping hard load got up to 124 before i killed the test. in 252 seconds got 11 200 responses. with nginx which has virtually zero memory footprint + the FCGI::Async based wrapper the same test topped at 1.2 load. I can show you the stats on irc if you like. So far i am handling all gets with it posts go to apache. I think the login page is one of the few posts so handing that to apache2-ssl is no bad thing
We use nginx at work for big dynamic sites (millions of page impressions per day) Im happy to share what ive learnt.
