yeah. * When you source the shrc file, don't expect to see any output. It just sets some envvars. * Look at the SPECWeb99 results page to see how some of the winning entries have tuned the servers. Also notice how many client boxes and how many/what kind of NICs they are using. * The harder you drive the server, the more disk space you will need. SPECWeb99 touches more files as you ramp up the number of concurrent connections. There is a formula here: http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/docs/users_guide.html#Pre-Inst Plus you need disk space for logs proportional to the load. * I wouldn't be surprised if there are bugs or bottlenecks in mod_specweb99 itself, since it was only recently open sourced. Please feed back any info/patches to this list. But you don't need mod_specweb99 if you are only doing static content. Greg
