Hello all. I'm running FreeBSD 3.2 as a web server only with Apache. Nothing else. I have some sites there that all average about 800,000 pages each month (all of them). Top gives me this information: --------------------- last pid: 4873; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+11:19:07 01:12:28 32 processes: 1 running, 31 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.4% interrupt, 99.6% idle Mem: 24M Active, 66M Inact, 18M Wired, 8348K Buf, 259M Free Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free --------------------- My Machine is a Pentium III 384 MB of RAM an IDE HD with 8 GB. It is running very good (today I shutdown because I increase the memory in another 128 MB after 75 days without a problem). What would be your advice, on experiences about increase the speed of my server? I guess memory is not a problem since even with 256MB of RAM Swap was always 512M Total, 512M Free. It never apparently, used swap area. I was thinking on changing the IDE disk for an SCSI one. Of course I know I can change for another pentium, maybe a pentium III 750 Mhz or 850 Mhz but I'm not sure it that will increase a LOT the performance. Please understand that the machine is running really fine but I'm curious what will you do in my case since I'm not an expert , yet, on FreeBSD. Maybe changing the LAN card?. If I upgrade to 4.2 will I have an increase in performance just for that? Thanks in advance for your advice.
