>Are you hitting the database very hard? Complex joins? Are your pages very complex? No, it's a fairly simple backend processor that mostly handles XML transactions for a Flash frontend. There are some XHTML admin pages generated with Template::Toolkit (and so are slower) but they are rarely hit.
For the database a typical run hits a session table, user table, writes a log table and reads data from a couple of other tables. No complex joins. The app handles user registration, some league tables, polls, competition entries and users submitting images that are approved and shown on the site. In this case I knew there was the potential for a huge number of users so went for a lightweight approach that could easily be tuned further. For a more complex app with fewer peak users I'd have used Catalyst.
