I'm sorry for jumping in, but I couldn't help throwing in some performance notes from one of our own servers --
Ultra10, Solaris 7, 512 Meg RAM, running Tomcat 3.3.1 with Apache 1.3.x with ssl and a huge mod_rewrite section. Also running a MySQL database and a RealServer with 60 simultaneous live streams (always maxed out). We handle about 120,000 requests per day to the servlet engine and a little over half of those involve a minimum of two queries to the MySQL server, two filesystem accesses, and a Xalan/Xerces XSLT transformation. Almost all servlet traffic occurs during business hours, and the load on the machine rarely goes over 0.15. We're moving up to a 280R and moving off the RealServer. Our load testing indicates that we should be able to handle one million servlet requests per day, via SSL, complete with XSLT on each request as well as database accesses, without much trouble on the new box. Performance has definately not been a problem. -Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
