Not really...

We have put Pound+2xApache+2xWebware in a separate linux machine. Now,
with 400 virtual clients (using an automated testing tool) the linux
machine is basically idle (each one of 4 CPUs 90% idle). The solaris
machine that hosts the oracle goes to 90+% on each of 4 CPUs, but
contonues to give fast service to the vintage cobol app that we are
partially replacing (I mean, it accesses about the same data as the
webware app).

So, what is the recommended setup (apache+webware+DBPool) for high
performance/high load? I expect to get about 1000 users asking for 5
pages per minute (each page takes about 6 oracle queries). Are there any
records of this kind of load? With what hardware?

I have a variation on the DB pool that comes with webware (I will post
it tomorrow at work). I am using DCOracle2. Could cxOracle be better?
SQL Relay? Any alternatives to test? Are there any caveats about using
threads in Webware? with DCOracle2 accesing Ora7? 

One strange thing. We have set up Webware for 100 threads on each
instance max, but they never get started. If I access the example pages
(wich obviously don't access Oracle) they take forever to load (minutes)
although we don't get the thread max. The apache sample pages load
immediatly.

My objective is to be able to say that Oracle is the next bottleneck, of
course.

I am sorry to be so boring, but I feel this is going to determine the
future of Webware both in my company and in the Spanish Public
Administration.

Thank you for your time in reading this legthy mail.
