Deprecated - Performance and scalability

I'm comparing webalizer logs on my old static-driven site with webalizer logs on my new Drupal-driven site to try to get some idea of the increase in site resources being consumed. One of the things I'm wondering is, as the title suggests, "do database queries get registered as 'hits' in webalizer?"

Hi all,

I've recently been struggling to find ways of optimizing my Drupal site (ubersoft.net) -- for most of my site's life it's been a series of static pages, and while I really like what a database-driven site can do I'm learning that database-driven sites can struggle to hand traffic that static sites deal with as a matter of course.

The software on my server

• Drupal 5.1
• PHP 5.0.4
• MySQL 4.1.22
• eAccelerator 0.9.5
• Apache 2.0.40-21.21

The stats

These are the response values when calling <http://myserver.com/node/{nn}>:

without eAccelerator

• Executed 103 queries in 433.66 milliseconds. Queries taking longer than 5 ms and queries executed more than once, are highlighted. Page execution time was 1089.68 ms.
• Memory used at devel_init(): 6.74 MB
• Memory used at devel_shutdown(): 7.19 MB

with eAccelerator

• Executed 103 queries in 77.8 milliseconds. Queries taking longer than 5 ms and queries executed more than once, are highlighted. Page execution time was 197.16 ms.
• Memory used at devel_init(): 0.09 MB
• Memory used at devel_shutdown(): 0.44 MB

The performance boost is amazing.

The problem

As everybody noticed, there are some drawbacks with segmentation fault.

I need to create sub domains on the fly, and i need to show the content depending upon the sub domain.

For example:
i need to convert the url like
www.mydrupal.com/q=cricket to cricket.mydrupal.com,
and both urls should display extactly the same content coming only from one database.

Hello, I currently have a number of sites configured and running off of the same database, using different table prefixes for each site. All sites are also running off the same codebase, using Drupal's great site management abilities.

hi

I have few questions regarding Drupal.org site performance and numbers:

a) How many page views does Drupal.org gets per day?
b) How many users per day?
c) How many servers is it hosted on?
d) What is the average response time for each request?

Thanks for your help.
