I have been running a Barracuda install at RackSpcaceCloud now for several months. And at first, everything was amazingly fast. Even as far as to say "head turning" in its speed.

I have moved a few more domains over now and it has been running for a while and things seem to be slowing down.

So much so that I have been getting as much as 30 seconds for the first bit to arrive after a request. The page seems to load fairly fast after that point.

Could this be a caching issue?

What can I do to determine where there problem is actually occurring?

Some of the domains on the server for testing are

http:\metrosolar.com.au
http:\redronin.com
http:\stuartmccullough.com

Any ideas are welcome

This seems to have done the trick - speeds are much better now. Much much better - 30 seconds down to 0.5 seconds.

Thank you very much for that.

The question is: How the max_children value became 1 for both of us.
In my case maybe that's because I tried to run upgrade using 'aptitude full-upgrade' and have run also 'bash BARRACUDA.sh.txt' recently

Yes - similarly I have used

Yes - similarly I have used 'aptitude full-upgrade' .... before I found out that I should not do it that way .... and have also updated to the latest Barracuda (8.09 -> 8.10).

So one of these where most likely the cause. Probably the 'full-upgrade' ... as there are definite instructions NOT to update other than with Barracuda itself.

What is the ideal best

What is the ideal best practise setting for "max_children" in php-fpm? It would be nice to here it from omega8.cc's recommendations?
