Just a possibility: If you're launching huge numbers of requests, but all from the same machine (e.g., the one running ab), your request-generating machine may be saturating its own bandwidth, which could cause Apache processes on the web nodes to stall as they wait for you to be able to receive data, which in turn leads to requests piling up and increased load on the web node (but not on the DB node, which doesn't notice anything unusual). Not saying that's necessarily what's happening, but it's something to look into. Also, 300 req./sec. for something you apparently haven't done much profiling on is pretty damned impressive in my book. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
