Linode Performance
A quick question. I'm trying to find a VPS host for a drupal based site i'm creating for my gaming clan. We have 300 members so dont expect there to be massive traffic. I have demoed a VPS from another provider but found my unixbench scores were 90. Very low by some comparable tests results I have seen for other providers.
I ran a clean installation of a number of different scripts such as Buddypress, Elgg and Drupal. Each performed very slowly.
I would be interested in using the London data center and would like to know if I could expect better performance with Linode and specifically which package would you recommend. I don't mind getting my hands dirty in the shell to optimize for my self.
Thanks
John

Linode also performs very well, as shown by these benchmarks

Damn those Mac users, always bringing down my web servers with their shiny buttons…
And don't forget the 1/2 bit CPUs they use - now that still gets me fuming.

(…ahem… MacClients & ServerLimit)
I'm curious; what's so different about mac browsers?
Is Safari set to some ugly default that pre-fetches too aggressively?
Thats a typo, its meant to be MaxClients, and the joke just went from there…
