Talk:Performance recommendations

there's still the suggestion of using turck mmcache. the last release is from 11/2003! is that recommendation valid? are there better alternatives? what about eaccelerator?

eAccelerator does seem by consensus to be the way to go, but though there's a working beta there appear to be issues with its stability and performance, especially with PHP5 (e.g. breaks the -GRACEFUL command in apachectl). It's flagged as unstable in most repositories - the message on the forums appears to be wait around a little! Rory Allford

I have no idea how to interpret the output of this :-( What value:

 #ps -ylC httpd --sort:rss

--Howard Miller 09:31, 14 November 2007 (CST)

For me "#ps -ylC httpd --sort:rss" returned no results, however "#ps -ylC apache2 --sort:rss" does return results.

So for my box running the above command gives me:

root@intranet:~# ps -ylC apache2 --sort:rss

However I am struggling to work out which value I need to be looking at and how it relates to the expected 10 mb per process! My sums are giving me an average of between 127 and 80 mb depending on if I use rss or sz to take my average. This is well over the suggested 10 mb!

For reference I am having more luck with this now thanks to Martin! :-) link In this forum
