Does this slice also runs the database? > some of index views on controllers pages take .5 - 1 second to load. This is the problem, having request that take up to a second to be serviced is too much.

Your hardware should be fine for a moderated load (whatever "moderated" is) You need to pin point why your request are taking so long to be serviced. > the site is wlodb.com if you want to take a look at how long it takes > (unless i just restarted the services). :-) > how should i check how long the DB queries are taking? should i turn on > verbose logging in mysql?

With INFO (default for production) you should be ok, look at this sample: Completed in 0.06489 (15 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.05481 (84%) | DB: 0.00109 (1%) | 200 OK [http://:/logi n] If things are OK, time spent on DB should be a little fraction of the total and rendering should take most of the time. You need to assure _at least_ a a dozen request per second (in my experience) to offer a smooth operation. > thanks for the help so far!

You can try adding another thin/mongrel but while you have controller/actions taking up to a second to service a request you will be in trouble. -- Aníbal > > > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
