I have a test server which is running the db and django app (apache/ mod_python). Before moving to production, I'm running stress tests and optimizing performance. My plan is to optimize on the test box, see what works, then implement these on production which is separate db and app servers.
Here's what I did today to test memcached: - ran stress test using siege before installing memcached - installed memcached on separate machine, opened port 11211, started daemon - pointed test server to memcached box using method in django docs - restarted apache/django on test box - ran siege again (a few times just to be sure) The result? No difference. Memcached does not provide any benefit according to my testing. I have siege set to log in as a user, then hit a single page which makes several db calls. The memcached server shows no movement in CPU, memory, or network usage which makes me wonder if I even have things set up correctly at all. Is there a way to check memcached to see if it is functioning correctly? I tried entering a bogus ip in the CACHE_BACKEND setting in settings.py and nothing changed. Django restarted normally with no errors. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
