Hi all! I did some quickie ab benchmarking against a sessioned script. Since ab doesn't quite handle cookies right, I ended up with 2K (per run) session files. If I mount a volume that uses reiserfs, and configure the session system to use that as its storage location, the fifth, sixth, and more runs stay at about constant speed. Under ext2, the time to complete the run grows. So, I recommend adding a note to the forthcoming documentation that heavy sites should consider using a fast local FS that handles loads of files. Jim
