Man I’m lucky. My web host rocks – and I don’t even have to pay it any more.
And the tail? The site was still doing the same concurrency and number of requests, but the load had dropped to 4 and memory usage to 0.5GB. Incredible
To me, this was the first real demonstration of lighttpd’s superior abilities to handle concurrency and load, and “sealed the deal”. I see us doing Apache-proxy-to-Lighttpd as our default setup right now, because I feel that when you have servers that are dual 3.6Ghz xeons with high speed SCSI drives on dual RAID1/RAID5 split backplanes, your web server should be to keep with that.
