:Hi all, : :Just wanted to let you know that we have deployed in production a cluster of :about 50 single-CPU machines running Dragonfly. That's probably Dragonfly's :largest production install base at a single location:-) The machines are :used as the crawler layer for a search engine. We are not using hammer yet :but plan on transition to it in the next 6-12 months. In case you want to :find out more about the project please visit: :http://www.euraeka.com/faq : :We are very happy with the way Dragonfly handles the load. Our previous :crawler cluster ran Debian Linux and the crawling speed was horrible. After :switching to Dragonfly, we gained 5x-6x in crawling speed. :I am just forwarding this information in case there are plans to set up a :page "Sites using Dragonfly" like the ones on the FreeBSD and NetBSD :projects. :Thanks.
Hey, that's cool! Where did the primary increase in performance come from? Networking? Filesystem? -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
