right. i'm just wondering what the avg numbers for moderate logic
apps are.
I like httperf for benchmarks.
its ok. it and ab haven't been updated in a while though.
have you seen tsung? its pretty nice, but more importantly- actively
maintained

one of my friends has been doing a lot of erlang lately, and set me
up on a dev box to profile once. ( elang is a pain to get running,
its got a steep learning curve still )
if you've got time to try setting it up, i recommend it.
there's also a python app that does benchmarks more as unit tests.
can't remember the name though.
You can usually increase your performance greatly just by tuning your
existing SQL and database. Run Apache::DProf or the DBI profiler,
find
out where the time is being spent, and work on it. There are many
resources for database performance tuning. Work on the actual queries
and schema structure, not on the database configuration. You
always get
more from the former than the latter.
already done. i 'explain' all statements as I write them, and tweak
SQL and indexes ( gotta love postgres's detailed explain )
There ain't no such thing.
damnit.
Once you fix the obvious architecture things
(by using mod_perl and running a reverse proxy), the performance of
your
also done.
