If anybody wants a good read on web server scalability across multiple processor cores, just found at random: http://www.cse.wustl.edu/ANCS/2007/papers/p57.pdf on a similar topic, I've been looking at kernel settings lately, maxconn, backlog, rmem, etc.. and wondered if anybody had some good references to appropriate settings based on server hardware..# of cpus, network speed, amount of memory in system, kernel version, etc..
