    How does your setup look like (the link over to curse-gaming was broken)? That's mighty impressive, I must say!

    Impressive! what are you using with Apache: mod_python or FastCGI?

    Cool. I remember you guys were having a lot of problems when you first deployed.

    Unfortunately, I cant get the the technology page right now. I keep getting a 500 error.

    Nice score...
    Probably if you choice Smarty not Django, server could not hang too much visits/hits.

    Smarty is the paint on a car, where as Django is the tight suspension, quick accelerating roadster :)

    Let me first say that I use Django for every thing that I can. However, I'd like to mention that Smarty works quite well if used properly, allowing templates to be cached. I remember back in 2004 I had a site that was getting nearly 300 req/s using a Smarty-templated site.

    Now, given the choice I would NEVER use Smarty again simply because I would hope to never use PHP again. Python/Django is just too... amazing... Words.. can't describe. Should have sent... a poet.

    About PostgreSQL scaling better than Mysql:

    Here it's pretty clear what scales better and postgresql 8.3 is even faster (a lot) than the one used in the test.

    And for alternative solutions to clustering and replication have a look at this page, it may help, otherwise... I just tried :)
