We are using G2.1.2 with PHP 4 [Linux/Apache on a Dual Processor with 4GB RAM].
We get about 100k page views a day. G2 doesn't seem to be able to handle this load, chances are our config is wrong.

Are any of you getting in the range of 100k page views a day for your albums? We have about 40k photographs

are you already using a php cache (eaccelerator)?
php 5.1.x is also a little faster than php 4.
and MHz matter for webservers. a single CPU 3 GHz box is much faster than a dual 1.5 GHz or so.

also, you can enable page caching which will speed up guest / anonymous page impressions considerably.

performance also depends on the enabled modules.
- useralbum has an issue with performance if used for many registered users.
- imageblock adds a speed penalty

You should be able to do 100k page views a day without difficulty. What's your peak load? What's the url to your site? Have you tried the performance tips listed on this page? Have you tried putting Google Analytics on your page to get an idea of what your peaks are?

Hi,

I disagree with the Mhz relation. Imho dual cpu server do faster with the same or even lower total Mhz.
Like a dual Opteron 1.6 -> 3.2 do faster then a single Athlon 3.5

But thats only my personal opinion.

The full thread about the problem we had with eaccelator and other things is at http://gallery.menalto.com/node/54381

We are not sure how to fix the problem.

hi

We have followed the performance tips except for moving to PHP 5.x because MySQL-5 is having bugs on 64 bit Fedore Core 4. So are unable to install PHP5 with Mysql with this setup. (Please see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13159 )

Let's continue this in the other forum thread, so that we don't have the conversation in both places.
