Hi Paul, Perusing the available logs (covers October 1 through November 17), a rough usage estimate is as follows: Number of CGI requests : 378338 Total number of GET lines : 3314288 Ratio: 11.4% Of course, it takes a lot more cycles to process CGI requests than simple GET requests. Here's a rough breakdown of the most popular CGI scripts called: search : 178881 cvsweb : 136798 mirror : 41566 query-pr : 17523 query-pr-summary : 2789 --------------------------------- total : 377557 (99.7%) Of the search.cgi requests, 10% were WWW searches (source=www), while the rest were for the mail-archives. So, I think it's reasonable to say that just moving the static hits to spatter is a good start, then we can work to move search.cgi and mirror.cgi over, then ponder about the rest. What do you think ? Looks like spatter is already mirroring free- fall. -Ade ------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - -------------------------------------------------------------------
