Hi Guys, Apologies if this is a novice queston, but I think it is a
performance one nevertheless. We are running a prototype of a system running on
PHP/Postgresql on an Intel Xeon 2ghz server, 1GB RAM, 40GB hard drive, as a
test bench. The system will be used for tens of thousands of users, and at the
moment we are testing on a base of around 400 users concurrently during the
day. During the day, the system is incredibly slow to a point
where it is unusable. The reason we are testing on such as small server is to
test performance under pressure, and my estimation is that spec should handle
thousands of users. The server spikes from 5% usage to 95% up and down. The system
is a very simple e-learning and management system and has not given us any
issues to date, only since we’ve been testing with more users has it done
so. The fact that 400 users doing inserts and queries every few minutes is very
concerning, I would like to know if I could be tweaking some config settings.
