What needs to handle 2500 users online at once

[AndrewSimm]

I tried the super charged mod about a year ago and had some issues with it. I am already using gzip

my htaccess is below if you would like to look at it.

I noticed an improvement when I set up ngnix. Maybe it could be done better but it seems to be working in some capacity.

Does anyone have a link to some independent benchmarks done with cloudflare?
