However I am not installing nfsen or nfdump from the ports. Just all the dependencies :) > Being new to nginx (and like you being utterly bored by web servers), > I'm still playing with the config.

Activating sendfile and all that can help depending on your configuration and how many files you serve straight from the filesystem. It can hurt (or it did) if you are using ZFS underneath, for example. In my experience administering a forum, the most important tweaks I made were: First, moving from the linked PHP module to FastCGI. Thay way you control how many instances you can run in parallel. Past certain threshold you will just make things even slower. Better to run, say, 16 concurrent PHP scripts while new visitors have to wait, than running 256 scripts in parallel at such a low speed that the visitors will timeout. Second. moving from the "prefork" model to "worker", then to "event". And third, moving to Nginx :) Anyway, how many visitors do access your Nfsen installation? ;) Borja. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
