Deprecated - Performance and scalability

What is the drupal.org setup?

• How many servers? separate mysql or file servers?
• What kind of box(es)? (# and speed of processors? how much RAM?)
• Any special PHP config/performance tuning/optimizer/cache?
• Any special MySQL config/performance tuning?

This information would so helpful.

Traffic is crushing my current dedicated server setup and I am trying to figure out a way to scale our hardware to cover this. I know drupal.org gets tons of traffic and knowing how this site is set up would be extremely helpful.

Is the following wget approach still the best practice for stress testing a site?

In 4.7 there is the option to search only a specific type of node. Does it speed up the search to search only one node type? For scalability, would I be better off using one node type for music reviews, and one node type for movie reviews (for example) and having users search only one node type at a time? I ask because I notice this on a big non-Drupal site. My question here is about the speed of search results, and not about the quality of search results.

hi all
please help what are the modules are needed for alumni iam creating groups
help as early as possible
bye

I have installed E-commerce module in drupal 4.6.6. I have created some products and i made a list of recent products. I want the products listed in recent products block to be restricted. by default it is showing all the products i have created. i want to display only two or three products to be listed by default and to use the more link in the recent products block to list all the products.

Wondering if some special configuration is requred for site to start displaying contents as it builds instead of waiting for entire page to be built.
