Hi, I've installed Plone on a test machine (2.53GHz Intel Pentium 4, 1GB RAM - running CentOS 5.2) and have done some rough benchmarking with Apache Benchmark:
With CacheFu set up my site is performing very well: 32 requests per second. After installing Varnish via http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout/a-deployment-configuration the standard buildout method the corresponding results for pages delivered via Varnish are: 30 requests per second. I have set Varnish to round-robin the two backends created by a default Plone install (ports 8080 and 8081). Am I expecting Varnish to work too fast? Should I consider dropping Varnish completely and just using something like pound to sit in front of my two backends?
