I used Siege a website stress tester tool that you you can just install using apt if you are running debian and then used the bombardment program that comes with it. When I ran it against the site, just hitting the frontpage in the normal midgard site and then hitting it when it was saved as html you could see that mysql was the bottle neck. Our front page makes quite a lot of calls to the database. I was worried that I might not have optimised my mysql server very well but had a look at the different options and ran some of the tests that are included with mysql and it appeared to be within the range of what others were saying were good results. Of course there might well be other things that we can do to speed it up but given the nature of our site, most of the pages won't be changing that frequently and we don't require personalisation, and our resources, everything is running of the same virtual server caching with squid will let us meet our current traffic needs easily.
