I have a fairly fast server (1GHz P3, 768MB RAM, RAID-5 Ultra 160 SCSI) using Windows 2000 SP2 and IIS 5.0.
But I have more and more traffic and problems with keeping up with the PERL requests. Sometimes I have more than 20 request in queue in the task manager.
I tried to install the ISAPI Perl instead of the usual Perl.exe but I got lots of problems with missing files and the whole IIS service crashed more than twice a day - nothing I appreciated...
What can I do to speed it up? (yes, I am using the .PHP accelerator with more than 40% cache requests)
I have about 650.000 pageviews per month (counted by the UBB control panel) currently and increasing every month.
Solutions anyone? I have a new server coming soon, but is "brute force" the best solution?
