need some help with mongrel and performance problems

I run a Debian/Etch witch Apache 2.2.3 and self installed Rails 1.2.3.

apache2 configuration:

<Proxy balancer://beta>      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8100      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8101      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8102      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8103      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8104      BalancerMember http://192.168.178.200:8105 </Proxy>

<Virtualhost *:80>         ServerName www.gissmoh.de         ServerAdmin gissmoh@gissmoh.de

        ProxyPass /images !         ProxyPass /stylesheets !         ProxyPass /javascripts !

        ProxyPass / balancer://beta/         ProxyPassReverse / balancer://beta/

        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1         SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

        # RewriteEngine On         # DirectoryIndex index.html

        ...

bash:

mongrel_rails start -d -p 8100 -e production mongrel_rails start -d -p 8101 -e production mongrel_rails start -d -p 8102 -e production mongrel_rails start -d -p 8103 -e production mongrel_rails start -d -p 8104 -e production mongrel_rails start -d -p 8105 -e production

The website www.gissmoh.de is very, very slow :frowning:

The host is connected via a dyndns.org account and uses a Broadband ADSL connection (512Kbit upstream, 6Mbit downstream).

One year ago I run a PHP application on the same machine and it was a lot faster.

Didn't I get mongrel and apache2 configured right??

Thanx

A quick firebug analysis shows that most of the time is used fetching CSS and JS files. One way of resolving this is by using multiple asset hosts, a starting point for this could be:

About 100 reqs/sec is very good performance result. For 24h it would be 8640000 request. Not bad...

But I think it's too slow to run the rails app here.... I think I must look for a dedicated machine....
