[07-JUN-2013] Please testdrive BLF on a different server

I opened 33 pages, just refreshing them every few seconds now.
I’m not actually checking the speed of the site though, is it holding up well?

EDIT: scaru, i’m using the easy auto refresh add on, it’s quite good!

Honestly, probably because I backed off. Want me to hammer it again?

Yes...

It’s pretty slow now for me, just click on one link at a time. It’s because the Apache workers are all busy and a long waiting queue. I’m keeping those values fairly low to save RAM.

Check it now. I just turned up the heat a bit.

Sure! I’m interested to see if the OS will step in or if it will let the DB run it into the ground.

Okay I lowered it to refresh 5 pages every 3 seconds. However it still has about 25 pages to load up first from before.
From where I am in the house I get about 3-6mbps down speeds, so I may not be affecting it much.

Looks like it just came to a grinding screeching halt :) I wasn't nice to it. :)

QPS is down slightly. So looks like the theoretical limit for this config is somewhere around 340 QPS? Not earth-shattering, but neither is the resource configuration.

Yep, Getting "Connection Refused" up the wazoo.. I'm going to leave it hammering away for a few more minutes to see if it fully crashes or if it recovers.

Yeah, completely down for me.

K. I just stopped completely.

Yep, doesn’t appear to load up now.

Barely 15MB of RAM left, but still up, and my SSH session is still barely usable.

Once the onslaught dies down, I’m interested to see if it recovers and free up the memory again.

The new site is even slower, if that's possible. I've been waiting several minutes and it still hasn't logged me in.

The regular site works but just barely. Usually loads 30 to 45 seconds after clicking.

Just did a flood of pings and didn't get great results...

How much RAM on the system? I just turned back on again.. I really want to crash the server :)

Haha Foy, you’re a bit late to the show!
The new site just got a beat down from everyone to test how it’d hold up.

EDIT: A page finally decided to respond! Time to turn on the auto refreshes again >:)

Foy, if you look at all the more recent posts you will see that a few of us have been working very hard to crash the server to see how it handles. ;)

Now isn't a good time to judge the new sites speed. There are a few of us beating the daylights out of it to torture test it.
