Hi,
I've installed Plone on a test machine (2.53GHz Intel Pentium 4, 1GB
RAM -
running CentOS 5.2) and have done some rough benchmarking with Apache
Benchmark:
With CacheFu set up my site is performing very well: 32 requests per
second.
After installing Varnish via
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout/a-deployment-configuration
the standard buildout method the corresponding results for pages
delivered
via Varnish are: 30 requests per second.
I have set Varnish to round-robin the two backends created by a
default
Plone install (ports 8080 and 8081).
Am I expecting Varnish to work too fast? Should I consider dropping
Varnish
completely and just using something like pound to sit in front of my
two
backends?
Cheers, Jim
Sorry, not enough information here.
What page are you testing? And which rule in CacheSetup is it
supposed to match?
Note that, by design, cachefu's default cache policy will not cache
personalized views in varnish, even when technically non-personalized
as anonymous. This is the case for both the 'plone-content-types' and
'plone-containers' cache rules. If you want these views to be cached
in varnish you will need to customize cachefu a bit. But be careful...
To cache just the anonymous view,

To cache both anonymous and authenticated views, you need to customize
the templates to de-personalize the views, perhaps by refactoring out
the personalized bits into ajax calls or onto a separate non-cached
template.
