    Oh well, so are some more URL's. Seem to have reached you at early beta.

    Ya we launched Sunday -- didn't get those random pages up yet (they're just intended to be Flatpages, so I'm leaving it up to someone else :P)

    Wow, 500 req/sec on a single server?!

    Have you made any special tweakings to Django or just used it in a "standard" way? We are building a project with Django and it would be nice to know how far we can get without any tricky optimizations.

    This: http://ibegin.com/search/?q=lawyer&w=chicago produces proud I.S.E. 500.

    This is single server, that's fairly mediocre in hardware. The only modifications to Django is our composite primary key support.

    Thanks Tomek, sphinx (search) was down. We're still having some issues with error emails and sphinx didn't have an init.d script setup yet.

    Any chance of getting those "proper architecture design" tips?

    Hi David,

    I was just wondering what software you used to do the siege testing with? Httperf or Apache Benchmark, for instance?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    It was just a quick test using the "siege" application available on unix-based systems.
