We found LOTS of memory to be the key to more speed. We run 512MB minimum.

Subject: [cobalt-users] on performance


hmm, I got knocked off this list for a while...  wot happened?

anyway, my server works acceptably and stably but there are
occasional... sluggishnesses...  and I wanted to get a general
idea of the best way to improve performance on a Raq server?

The first thing I'd do would be to add memory but that isn't
practical as I'm managed-hosted (it's much easier...)
and they don't have a "memory upgrade" plan.


FYI, I have about 75 domains, most are rarely hit:
I don't get a huge number of hits a day but sometimes
there will be specific large files that are transferred.

I *do* have the bandwidth management turned on but
it seems to be quite useful -- it slows down the
individual whopping files and doesn't seem to impact
the average performance.


There are a couple of Perl/CGI scripts that are run
periodically, some seem slower than others...

In particular, I use cgi-script instead of cgi-wrapper
for the Neomail program (the suid part is restricted
to a single directory) and it seems pretty slow, wondering
if it somehow isn't caching the compile Perl where cgi-wrapper
clearly is??


Anyway, general hints and tips would be most appreciated.
