I listened to the presentation and found it interesting. It was missing some of what I wanted. My site is too big for shared hosting but cannot afford going beyond one dedicated machine. Clearly cache the hell out of everything is probably the best advice but perhaps there are other tweaks that should be looked at as well. A question I had submitted before the talk did not get covered. I would like to see a graph, perhaps a nomogram, of something like max hits per hour vs. appropriate technology (both hardware and software).

The recorded video will be posted here: http://acquia.com/community/resources/recorded_webinars Keep in mind this was a one hour introductory webinar covering scalability and performance for Drupal. I covered a lot of material quickly, and tried to touch on a lot of relevant performance and scalability technologies and techniques.

Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." > --Abraham Lincoln > > No virus found in this incoming message.
