3. putting the images on a dedicated image server
Already being done. 2x Servers running apache - which also have this
keep-alive problem. Running 1000 threads per server is NOT my idea of a
good time. I will be having a look at a couple of other alternatives to
apache over the next couple of weeks. Due to operating system/ kenerl
overheads
time for one request <> (time for 10 parallel requests)/10 <> (time for
1000 parallel requests)/1000
Squid is a good example of how you can server MANY connections without
starting thousands of threads.
First of all the squid doesn't serve any content, and it can be
implemented as state machine very easily.
So you can not compare the proxy with the web server.
There has been some attempts to make the web server as state machine,
even for apache. One of the commercial one STM's is Zeus.
All that looks very good in the lab environment, not so sure how it
behaves in the real-life.
