I wonder whether this could be a network issue too? Try accessing the server on a direct cable link just to see whether the server is on its knees under the strain, or it is a network bottleneck. (I hope you have a few LAN ports). I would check that first because no matter how powerful a server you have, it will all be lost unless the network flows freely. > There are 2500 clients wich could connect the IP of our wiki. > There are 300 and more (counted by totalcounter) hits per day. Only 300 hits spread over 8-10 hours? That's not much, is it? Visitors are not downloading tons of GB and clogging the network are they? Unless 30-50 hit at the same time on this small server, it shouldn't cause a 6-10 secs on a local network, should it? > We do now have: Pentium III 400 MHZ, 512 RAM - > what kind of server configuration is recommended? I guess it depends on the server strain at a given time, the performance distribution. If 80% of the visitors come into the office at say 9am and hit the server at the same time it would be a struggle for a PIII 400 MHz, 512MB. If the 6-10 secs is all day long then something is wrong maybe elsewhere? You don't need a very powerful machine, but going slightly higher, you may need a box equivalent to PIII 1GHz with 1GB RAM. Maybe you have an old one lying around in the company. If not, there are thin clients the size of a book with those specs which also use only 10-20% of the electricity of the old desktops, so they save money and are much eco-friendlier. You could also try running lighttpd (lighty) instead of Apache. Especially on low power machines, lighty may help. AFAIK, everything works with lighty. I am running it locally with pmwiki for testing. In any case check the site with a statistical viewer like Webalizer or Analog to see where the peaks are (both Open Source).
