performance diffrence between two servers

2005-09-29 Thread Michael Ben-Nes
Hi Everyone I transfered a perl script driven web site ( not mod-perl ) to a new server. On the old server the performance where quite good and on the new one they sucks big time. Old Server is: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz with 512KB cache MEM: 1GB DDR ( i think 200mhz )

Ummm Sorry for pointing the obvious... but: Old server has 10K U1600 SCSI RAID, while the new one has normal IDEs with a software RAID 1. (RAID1 is known to reduce performance) Second, did you check that the IDE drivers are running at UDMA133/32bit mode? (hdparm /dev/hdX) Gilboa On Thu,

Yes, both using using_dma and 32bit I also mentioned that there is no CPU wait, so i assume the Disks do their jobs quite well Cheers Gilboa Davara wrote: Ummm Sorry for pointing the obvious... but: Old server has 10K U1600 SCSI RAID, while the new one has normal IDEs with a software

But the the CPU user was not on 100% but on 40% the wait as on 60% I was also able to duplicate a file ( 700mb ) quite fast under the load. this prooved me that the disks are not the issue. Unless the software raid is very hungry when it comes to kernel calculation ? though i would expect
