I'm running it right now on a 3.3-STABLE machien with a 166Mhz CPU (there are two inthe machine, but FreeBSD won't allow me to bring up the second oen *sigh*)...the machine has 512MB of RAM and ~24Gig of Disk space... The server is configured to use 128MB of RAM, and top is currently reporting: 39237 root 2 0 201M 200M poll 210:10 11.33% 11.33% squid And swap space isn't even being touched: demeter# pstat -s Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/da0s1b 1053584 0 1053456 0% Interleaved /dev/da1s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved /dev/da2s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved /dev/da3s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved /dev/da4s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved /dev/da5s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved /dev/da6s1b 262144 0 262016 0% Interleaved Total 2625552 0 2625552 0% All in all, I'm impressed...we did >490k requests through that server yesterday, after only ~7days since we brought it online, with 1800 hosts using it, and an average of 36% hit rate... Looking at the PolyGraph/BakeOff report, it has "FreeBSD Tweaks" in a section to its own...except that it pertains to FreeBSD 2.2.8, so I'm wondering both how much of it still applies as well as whether there is anything new I should be looking at... It lists: 1. Increase per process memory limits (already done) 2. Increase limit on mbuf clusters - netstat -m doesn't seem to indicate it being required, but it can't hurt - did it 3. Disabled TCP delayed acknowledgements (options TCP_ACK_HACK)...?? - can't find a reference to this one...was it just a 2.2.8ism? - didn't do it 4. Decreased TCP's Maximum Segment Lifetime to three seconds - did it 5. Apply a patch to uipc_socket.c to do with "fixing TCP bugs with small packets? - didn't do it 6. Increased system wide and per proces FD limits - did it 7. Increased ephemeral port range to 30,000 (net.inet.ip.portrange.last) - did it 8. Insrease the socket listen queue size (kern.somaxconn) - doesn't appear to exist anymore 9. Set resources limits in /etc/login.conf - did it 10. Disable unnecessary processes - didn't do this, since am using them This document can be found at http://bakeoff.ircache.net ... Comments/ideas on how to improve things? Thanks... Marc G.
