[web2py] Re: Converting legacy MySQL databases to web2py DAL

2011-03-21 Thread Kevin Ivarsen

[web2py] processes, threads and performance tuning

2011-03-21 Thread VP
I was trying to tweak various settings in terms of processes and threads. This is what I observed. With web2py's default setting (I believed 1 process 15 threads), I got about 30 requests/second for my app. With 3 processes and 2 threads, I got about 90 requests/second. This is 3 times more!!!

First, you clone web2py from Google Code: hg clone https://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/ web2py Then, to update web2py, you go in to the "web2py" directory and issue these two commands: $ hg pull $ hg update This will not touch "applications/yourapp". Then, my "init" app is a second mercurial repos

I should have mentioned that while "hg pull" will pull down all of the most up-to-date files from the main repository, it will leave all the files in your locally directory unchanged. Nothing actually happens until you perform the "hg update". "hg update" by itself will then change all of the fi
