Well, we got our survey app online, after finally figuring out that we
needed reactor to be in a directory in the root of our app with no mapping.

The client broadcast to his mailing list to take the survey, and lo and
behold, our robust server is just choking... And it's really not THAT many
users at once.  Of course, it's all my fault, so I need to ask for some help
at this point.  I didn't even think to ask him how many people were getting
the newsletter/notice of the survey, and reactor had been performing well in
my tests -- though I did not have time to perform proper load tests on this
app, nor do I really have the tools to do so.

We are in production mode.  There's a lot of questions in the survey, but
they are delivered in "pages".  The database server is not really under a
lot of load overall, so this really seems to be a CPU usage issue.

I'll answer any questions that anyone willing to help would like to ask, to
help us get this completed app running better than it is.  I think we need
to look at caching the queries that pull the questions onto each page as the
page is loaded, and we may need to look at how the answers are stored back
to the database as well.  For each answer on the page, there's a database
insert. I can also provide our dB schema.

But first I thought I'd check with everyone, to see if there's some
additional "performance related setting" I should check, within reactor.
Caching, mode, etc.

I'm not sure if this should be taken off-list or not, but there will
certainly be a reply back to the list when it's OVER, to make sure nobody
makes the same mistake I have just made.

Anyone care to join me in hell's cubicle for a little while?
