Okay, I'm trying to pull even more out of my qmail box. It's a dual P2 450
with 256 MB of RAM and the following qmail configuration:
qmail with fsync's removed
concurrencyremote set to 120
big-todo patch installed
using cyclog and not syslog
I'm getting what appears to be around 60K messages per hour and I'm wondering
what I can do to get a higher throughput. Any ideas are welcome. I'm using
a Perl script talking directly to qmail-queue to pump the messages in (each
of which is slightly unique) and I know that's not the limiter because I have
to slow the script down to avoid filling the queue up (100K+ messages). Here's
some output from qmailanalog:
Completed messages: 196952
Recipients for completed messages: 196956
Total delivery attempts for completed messages: 197869
Average delivery attempts per completed message: 1.00466
Bytes in completed messages: 1152135331
Bytes weighted by success: 1140658136
Average message qtime (s): 12.2331
Total delivery attempts: 202944
success: 195605
failure: 2398
deferral: 4941
Total ddelay (s): 2338545.236874
Average ddelay per success (s): 11.955447
Total xdelay (s): 806842.48747
Average xdelay per delivery attempt (s): 3.975690
Time span (days): 0.198014
Average concurrency: 47.1606
I'll send along vmstat entries if anyone thinks it would help. Any ideas?
I've got multiple boxes here with the same hardware configuration just slated
for this project but if I'm not able to get the rate much higher I'm probably
going to have to consider this whole effort a failure.
thanks
