Varnish Page Cache + Pressflow 6 IP Based Roles
So we use page level caching on our Pressflow 6 multisite installation and some of the sites use a module for IP based role assignment.
There is an issue with using page caching and IP based role assignment in which a user will get a cached page from Varnish despite having an IP that will give them an authenticated role.

Hello,
I would like to seek your advice on what else that I need to do in order to speed up Drupal site. Its really slow for logged in users . The only thing that is good now is Boost , which also has some problems on its own that i worked around.
My site is on a dedicated server on HostGator. Here's what I have so far:
Installed Boost - running ok for anonymous users. Problems with the login block being visible after logging out. I solved this (almost) by ajaxifying the login block (i just wrote my custom code)

Memcache configuration options, using multiple memcache servers
I'm interested in finding out how people are configuring Drupal sites to make the best use of multiple memcache servers and distinct machines.
Topologies I've seen so far include:
- replicating the caches to multiple memcache servers
- storing separate caches on each memcache server.
I would also be interested in your experience or thoughts on using moxi with Drupal.
Some relevant discussions I've found so far include
Read moreDrupal + High Concurrent Users and Node.js or Twisted?
We are in the process of using drupal with our new game server, this server will read and write a lot of the users game data, We have chosen to go with the basic pressflow and minimal modules enabled, some custom ones that work with the services api (its how we communicate with the client and server with JSON).
Someone mentioned to me that and im still trying to figure out the formula of well with a pure drupal site optimized you can only have so many concurrent users hitting the db before apache/php bottle neck comes in.

Amazon DynamoDB
Interesting announcement from Amazon today: managed NoSQL via their DynamoDB: http://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb
More details:
http://allthingsdistributed.com/2012/01/amazon-dynamodb.html
The interesting part of this is the data being stored on SSD, low latency, and the ability to pre-provision capacity and usage. My initial thought about this as it applies to Drupal would be along the lines of the mongodb project. IE, a Drupal module and API to enable certain tables to be stored and queried from a DynamoDB database.

The High Performance Drupal meetup now meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month. We're meeting again on February 7, 2012 and will be at Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency in Culver City located just two blocks from Media Temple, a familiar venue of Drupal meetups on the Westside.
LA Drupal meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. As always, we'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks.
We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:30pm.
For any changes to our agenda, stay tuned to this meetup announcement or click the Sign up button below (or both!) to be notified when the agenda has been updated.
About High Performance Drupal
What is the High Performance Drupal meetup about? The "high performance" part of the name is a catch-all to describe Drupal scalability, performance and benchmarking but we also discuss hosting, infrastructure, deployment, monitoring and highly repeatable processes. Also, this meetup has been held at coffeeshops in the past and the addition of caffeine makes our meetings feel as if they go faster and faster as the night goes on.
This is an LA Drupal meetup that focuses exclusively on advanced topics and there will not be a Users Helping Users portion to the evening.
Thank you to our sponsors!
Light food and refreshments will be served throughout the evening courtesy of our food, drink and venue sponsor, Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency.
Our client list spans global brands and Fortune 100 companies to startups and boutique firms. Let us help you create a digital solution that fits your needs!
Our projector for the evening is being provided by Exaltation of Larks, a Drupal strategy, consulting, development and training company with a team of Drupal experts in Los Angeles.
We like doing hard things on the web and excel at creating and maintaining exceptional Drupal sites with unexceptional budgets.

Measuring Memory and CPU usage during a benchmark
This is not exclusively "Drupal related", but it's still useful if you want to properly find bottlenecks during a benchmark.
I want to do a test with Ab (Apache Benchmark) and I would like to monitor the memory and CPU usage during that test. What do you use for that? top command line tool?
