Just a "me too" post - nginx is solid. We ran a site with a ~1Mb homepage weight (once all the graphics and video clips all over it had loaded - yeah, I know ...) on nginx with 2 workers, and it took 570k PIs across 65k unique visitors in one day, and that mostly in a 5-hour period. OK, it was a dedicated dual Xeon with 4GB RAM and not much on it apart from CentOS base + nginx, but I kept a close eye and I didn't see it go above 500Mb, and the process load was low enough to make a brave man weep. > Of course, I did do some special tuning, but that's another story. A story you might be happy to share, perhaps? i -- Igor Clark // POKE // 10 Redchurch Street // E2 7DD // +44 (0)20 7749 5355 // www.pokelondon.com _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
