Richard, We've been struggling to define what a reasonable load is on Jetspeed and Tomcat in general (i.e. # of concurrent users). 1600 users is music to our ears.
If possible, can you tell us a bit about your site and architecture? For example, are you running Tomcat as a standalone app, or with Apache? Do you run multiple Tomcats? Is your site very expensive in terms of the size of images you use? In the # or type of portlets that are available? I'm guessing some portlet types must be more expensive than others. Do you know how many users can hit the site simultaneously? Finally, are there any performance tips you can share? We've been trying to compile a list (e.g. turn down logging level, use Apache to memory map images, etc). We will probably share our experiences once it has some things that aren't obvious. thanks, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Moore, Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Jasen, > > Our intranet has been running Jetspeed for several > months now, we currently > have about 1600 active users running on a 600MHz PC > with no performance > problems at all.
