Hi Bob,
it's hard to say what volume Swikis are getting. Logging is done only on
a Swiki basis, so icon requests are not counted. I know that the Linux
swiki holds up fine under a load of about 18,000 requests per day.
Bolot has done some testing on Comanche throughput, but we still do not
understand why it crashes at times. Check out STOMP
(http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/csl/stomp). One of our great undergrads
(Brian Trammell) compared Comanche to Apache.
As always, Swiki dynamically generated responses are much slower than
raw Comanche. I think in a reasonable case, you could say that producing
the content is about 80% of the time. I believe BSS is just FTP, so it
doesn't have that overhead.
Peace and Luck!
