I set cache-size to 10000 last night, up from the default. I felt I had to try that before I had a grap in place, so I don't have good numbers to estimate tha change, but with about 20 hits a sec on apache, there was close to 500000 loads the last hour, and just 3000 writes. Does that look reasonable? The built in help seems to indicate I should increase the cache until reads approaches zero..? > Also, I don't think you've mentioned what sort of app this is. > Is it mostly reads or are there lots of writes? > "Mostly reads" is a lot easier to optimize :) > Big CMS system with about 70 virtual domains. > > Is there a way to get that data out without going through port 8080? > > Don't think so.
