Why so many writes on frontend server
I have a two tier structure, S1 Runs apache, Drupal,APC and memcached, S2 runs mysql.
Moderate traffic about 10K visits/day.
I recently started to use a new monitoring programme and it showing lot of IOwait happening on the server S1. Further analysis shows all that IOwait is due to apache. the disk IO monitor shows most of the IO is write. Which is expected as reads (although several times higher) are happening through memcache and network from mysql. I also depend on CDN to distribute most of the static files.
I have confirmed NO swapping is going on here. Also NO NFS here.

Authcache D7 nearing release quality
Hi All,
Just thought you might be interested to know that the D7 version of Authcache is approaching production quality. (fast page caching for authenticated users)
http://drupal.org/project/authcache
It's currently working fine for me on a production site (albeit only my personal blog) and I'm getting page generation times of around 15ms for both anonymous and authenticated users on my cheap shared hosting account. (That drops to about 2.5ms on my dev server with SSD).

Drupal & G-WAN server
Hello,
I just read about g-wan server that seems to be the new kid on the block: http://gwan.com/
Does anyone have it up and running with Drupal? According the the G-WAN team that also runs http://www.engineon.com/ they have Drupal available for the platform.
Curious of anyone's experience.
Read moreBoost Module and Browser Detection
Within my template.php file, I do browser detection and if the user is using IE7 or IE8, I load a .js file that works better with those browsers, else I load a different version. Prior to installing the Boost module that worked fine. Now, after installing Boost, the page that is cached depends on the browser loading the page that is cached, which means I'm no longer able to load one .js file versus another depending on browser type.

The High Performance Drupal meetup is meeting once again on the 1st Tuesday of the month. Please join us on August 7, 2012 at Citrus Studios at the Yahoo! Center in Santa Monica. That's right, for the month of August, 2012, this meetup is in Santa Monica and not Downtown Los Angeles.
At this meetup, we're featuring a presentation by Alon Girmonsky of BlazeMeter, who is presenting on the Drupal integration with BlazeMeter, a self-service, load and performance testing cloud that's 100% compatible with Apache JMeter, the popular, open source performance testing framework.
We'll also hear from engineers at Riot Games (developer and publisher of the insanely popular League of Legends multiplayer online battle arena video game) about how and why they are using Drupal to power a number of their systems, from their marketing site and discussion forums to in-game announcements.

Read moreBaseline Drupal performance expectations
UPDATE: Make sure that your Drupal settings.php connection string uses the IP address of your MySQL server (e.g. 127.0.0.1 for your local Windows machine), not 'localhost'. This change brought the execution time of a barebones Drupal install down from ~800-900ms to ~60-90ms.
Original post follows -----------------------
Fairly new to Drupal, trying to determine what kind of performance we should expect from a stock Drupal install, with the optional modules (not the barebones option).
Read morePerformance Expectations for more fully featured site
Getting to the point, I have found that Drupal performance for authenticated users is pretty sluggish with pages generally being generated somewhere between 600ms and 1+ seconds on a fast, idle server.
Read morePages hit by Boost Crawler are not being cached on Nginx Reverse Proxy
I am running an Nginx reverse proxy on port 80, with Apache behind on port 81. I do not have nginx set up to serve boost cache files, only static assets.
If I hit port 80 from my browser, or curl on the box itself, it generates a cached file. However the crawler fails to generate a file, despite Apache access log suggesting the crawler is regularly hitting pages (the site is not public, access is only allowed for IP exceptions).

Apache setup for Drupal DevServer
Hi, all
I had install dev server for our developers, with VirtualDocumentRoot in Apache conf for subdomain easy creation.
In that configuration we need to add "RewriteBase /" in .htaccess.
I thought that i can Add "RewriteBase /" in Apache conf, but it doesn't work.
It works only if i edit .htaccess and add "RewriteBase /" there.
Please, help me to add "RewriteBase /" in Apache conf.
Now my configuration of VirtualHost is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@d7c.ru
ServerName drudev.ru
ServerAlias *.drudev.ru
