Ramping up nicely - 10 - 50 concurrent clients

Here is the link to the stress test graph below generated by the loadimpact.com server hitting the main url of tingoo.com/forum with 10,20,30,40 and 50 clients (max is 50 for freeloaders like me! :)

There were 24000 total requests in the span of about 4 minutes! That is not bad for a vanilla install, given that there aren't any posts out there yet and most of it is being handled by the cache on the server side, but still :)

Clients 10 20 30 40 50
Delay (s) 4.34 4.45 4.54 4.94 5.29

This is on a 256mb VDS (with that ungodly turbopanel turned off!) The max memory never hit more than 80mb which is pretty darned good too! I was also able to keep browing the forum and viewing pages when 50 simulated clients were hitting it. I don't think Tingoo will ever hit 50 concurrent users anytime soon.

Time to start populating the forums, but the first order of business is the selection of an appropriate theme.
