What's a rule of thumb for guesstimating how many Mongrels to use in a cluster for an app? I have an app that gets about 5000 unique visitors per day. I figured I'd give it plenty of Mongrels -- twenty to be specific. After running out of memory and hitting the swap periodically, I scaled it back to five and it still seems to serve up visitors fine. So, is there some super-secret math fomula I can use to determine the ideal number of Mongrels I should start in a cluster for an app?
