there are two points here though:<br>
<br>
firstly the site uses boost, this means that it is actually serving up
static cached pages<br>
<br>
secondly - I built an ubuntu hardy server vm with 128meg of ram on
vmware server 2 and transfered a copy of the site to it and it's
running fine - not as speeedy as some sites granted but perfectly
acceptable<br>

The new drupal site that was unveiled at the last meeting is quite
simply,<br>
hammering hte hell out of the machine. Meaning that the number of apache<br>
processes has had to be cut down dramatically so it can actually fit in<br>
the amount of ram the box has (128 meg). The result being that there<br>
aren't enough processes to serve all the requests. What is more, each<br>
request takes an age to process anyway, which just exacibates things<br>
further.<br>
<br>
I will see about doubling the memory the vm has (no promises). But in
the<br>
mean time it might be an idea to seriously think about is drupal really<br>
necessary, or would something based around lighttpd and server side<br>
includes, be enough to provide the functions we need. Ultimately the
site<br>
isn't that complex. There is also very little need for each page to be<br>
generated dynamically on each hit, so it might make more sense to
generate<br>
the static pages. It is open for discussion.<br>
