I would agree, that we are more then likely not a good example of we would
call a "normal" example for the VSD systems.
Our Senior Programmer worked for about a month straight to get the VSD
software to work like it does on the debian server, this is the primary
reason why we have not upgraded to any new releases.
I would say however that back in the testing days, we ran 1.4.5 with 25 VS
in a test environment, with less hardware then we are on now, and
everything worked great, but again, there was none of the extra gizmoz
running, just apache, sendmail, and sshd, along with the required system
processes and thats about it.
the load average on that server is quite high right now as we have a couple
of donated servers for the September 11th cause which are sustaining a
large number of hits, we are also running an ircd on that server.
but even still, load averages below 50 are typically ignored, rarely do we
see any problems with those levels,, possibly its a hardware thing ??
