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

Same here. For us the bottleneck is our own connection.

So far, only a very small fraction of the requested pages have actually timed out - the vast majority (99.2% at this moment) have been queued, but processed eventually. Looks really good, to be honest.

500 concurrent threads of wget

But they are linked from the server correct. They seem to load twice as fast as any other time I have looked. It’s like I just received a free ISP speed upgrade.

The test site is much much slower for me than the current site.

I just tossed another 200 threads at it, and now I'm getting timeouts.

Basically, the HTML file contains the link to the image, hosted elsewhere on the internet. You download that small HTML page from BLF, and then your browser obeys the link and initiates a connection with the remove server and downloads the image. What you probably perceive as a speed increase is the reduction in the amount of time that it is taking for the new BLF test server to respond to your request. This production site is taking forever to respond to requests.

Slowing down for me too. I believe a few people here are putting it through a torture test.

Yep, it’s starting to hurt now. Only about 30MB of free RAM and no swap. So it should crash pretty soon. Let’s wait and find out.

What's that you say? You want another 200 threads? No problem :)

Yeah, it is hurting now. Timeouts are approaching 30%

Normally we have more anonymous users than logged-in users, and anonymous users usually get a cached version of the page that takes very little resources to serve up. So this is pretty impressive considering that the static HTML cache is disabled.

On pic heavy threads is usually where it seems to be the slowest for me. On the new server the entire thread and pics load incredible faster. I couldn’t tell you what’s making the difference but they are a huge difference for me. Tried it again just now as the torture test is being run and its about like normal BLF.

Shall I give this a shot. :P

wget -H -r —level=1 -k http://198.199.90.139

Do it!

MariaDB v10 seems pretty nice. Drop-in compatible with mySQL, performance improvements, and free of the shackles of Oracle.
