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?
Try to run varnishstat and look for cache hits and misses. It's possible
that you've got your setup messed up. If you're testing, try to test as
anonymous first.
