After experienceing some "brownouts" in Stronghold SSL, I changed our web
server to modssl last week. We saw a huge increase in performance (of
course, the brownouts really dragged down the stats I expect) in the range
of 50 to 80 percent.
Since our site is a very high profile government site, I tried to keep
things as simple as possible for the cutover and left out the Shared
Memory library. I can't find an over abundance of documentation on this
feature and had some questions.
First off, does the cache apply to all http requests as well as https
requests. I'm assuming it does, but its not too exact in the
documentation.
Secondly, is there any configuration parameters to allow me to specify how
much memory it uses. I'm generally running with about 300 Megs free.
Any idea of what performance gain to expect? We get about 15000 real hits
a day, about 60000 total (including graphics). About 10% of those are SSL.
I need to justify why we want to make the change to the web server and
even a rough idea is all my employers need to see.
