For reference, I have a development system with a 500Mhz Athlon and 320MB. This is not a tuned system - somewhat the opposite, in fact. I have code which queries MySQL to generate some XML and then uses XSLT to turn it into HTML - this sustains somewhere around 45 hits / second with 50 simultaneous clients; simple scripts hit ~155 hits / second. If you were to create a tuned PHP build and run it with a tuned Apache / MySQL using one of the script caches (Zend, APC, BWare) these numbers would go up substantially. Chris Chris
