Ben did a fantastic job in pointing out that 1.5 request per second is hardly a lot. For ASP.NET applications, my laptop (a 2.0 Ghz with a much slower configuration than your server) can dispatch 732 ASP.NET requests per second. The sample "TestService" web service page which puts a bunch of controls into a page comes out at 371 requests per second. Which puts Mono at handling 4.41 million request per second in the time frame that you described. So, 220 times the load that you have today on your site. So for all intents and purposes Mono 1.1.10 should be able to cope with your load just fine. We are still working to improve Mono's speed (see my status report on my blog for details about what we are doing), but you hardly need these improvements today. Other people might.
