[cobalt-users] Performance of OSCommerce on RaQs?

["Rick Ewart" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, since we started a conversation on E-Commerce and stuff, I am
curious performance and dynamic sites. Anyone have a lot of OSCommerce
(or similar) sites running on a RaQ4? How is the performance/how many do
you have?

I had a client who put up a shopping once on a RaQ4i I have and he
absolutely dogged out the server, really messing with the performance. I
suspect his cart (don't remember which) and his configuration were to
blame, but the experience made me wonder about the ability of RaQ4s to
handle dynamically generated sites effectively.

I have a few basic sites that are dynamic (people running PHPNuke, etc),
but they are low traffic too. When I got ready to get into carts, I got
some dual CPU servers with lots of RAM. I figure these can handle a lot
of carts on one server, a lot better than a RaQ. Needless to say, for
this purpose, they ROCK! I threw Ensim on them and it seems to be
working out well.

Anyhow, just interested in feedback/comments/experiences.
