[cobalt-users] Server and connection speeds, monitoring

[Mikael Siirilä <mikael.siirila@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a RaQ4 with roughly 20 virtual sites generating a total of 15.000
pageviews per day. The machine is connected via a 100mbit cable connected
directly to a 1Gbit channel. Download speeds are generally very fast and the
server is "lightly loaded".

However, there is a user complaining that their site has been told to be
slow. The site itself is very light (small pics and light-weight HTML) and
receives 500 hits per day. The site uses MySQL heavily: a less-than 15MB
database with less than 50 tables. Querys are not complex.

QUESTION:

What should I investigate if a user complains that pages load too slowly?
How do I find out the load statistics of MySQL?
What would be a good way to monitor the RaQ4 loadwise?

Thanks!
