Eren, I don't have big experience but I think there is no way that you can use frameworks and have small amount of memory and slow processor, especially if your application is big.
One of my colleagues spend about 4 months writing quite big project in django. It was installed on a small box with 512 MB of RAM and Celeron 2.0 and we asked 40 people to just browse the new intranet website - after few seconds the server went down. So we have moved everything to HP Proliant - RAID5, 4GB of RAM, 2x dual core 3.00GHz and MySQL db also to new machie with the same spec as web server. Unfortunately, even on new machine our server was not able to do more then 5 requests per sec without caching! What really surprises me is that big django app can use even 90% of CPUs! My advice is to us ab (Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool) to see how many requests per second your site can do. but the first thing is to buy your servers more RAM and use cache. Just to see how fast caching can be, add the following into your settings.py: CACHE_BACKEND = 'locmem:///' and 'django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware' as a first line to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES Second thing is to profile your code. Django by default comes with django.core.handlers.profiler-hotshot To see where is the bottle neck of you app mkdir /var/log/cmsprofile chown www:www /var/log/cmsprofile add django.core.handlers.profiler-hotshot #PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonHandler django.core.handlers.profiler-hotshot How to read the prof files from hotshot see http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/django-profiling-hotshot-and-kcachegrind/ You can also use Profiling Middlware from http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/186/ Processing requests can be very expensive. so users_list = get_users(request) where get_users is large def, will almost always take huge amount of resources. Also, especially if your app is big, lines like: houses = House.objects.all() groups = Group.objects.all() is more then likely about 15 req per sec less, even if these are very small tables. kind regards, Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
