vb.org Archive - View Single Post - vBull chart for scaling Active Members:Different Server Configs

Coldhands · #1 01-10-2008, 07:29 PM

I was wondering about how some-people's server configs handle their peak amount of active users.

One some shared servers I've run other vanilla type forums, that handle 25 to 200 active users no problem. Now I'm on a dedicated server (4 gigs ram, Dual AMD Opteron 246 2.0 GHz....) and I can handle about 1200 active users, posting/refreshing rather quickly, until things start to grind to a halt.

How do some of your hardware set ups compare to your active user breaking point?

What are some things that you change in peak times to help reduce server load (turn off similar threads, I remove active user list from index, add more ram, something else)?
