  Hi All:
  
  Dunno if this has been asked before, Which are the largest PostNuke Sites?. Two criteria:
  
  1- Userbase
  2- Concurrent Online Connections, Besides postnuke.com, any1 with 100+ concurrent conections?
  
  Regarding #2, any site with consistent +100 concurrent conections (during peak hours)?.
  
  Also, Want to ask about PN .726, PN .75 and PN .82 capabilities to manage a large quantity of concurrent users without a major impact in performance.
  
  It will depend on many factors, so I provide some: OS RH 9, PHP 4.3.7, Hardware Dual Xeon 2.0 with 1024 RAM.
  
  TIA 8)

  Postnuke.com would be the biggest I've seen.

  As far as your server resources handling things, that completely depends on the modules, number of blocks, and type of theme (and theme engine) that you use.

  A few toughts:
  
  1) I think if you're really interested in top performance you need to separate your Web and DB server. Since the Web server performs all the PHP processing, it needs as much CPU as it can get, so having a separate server dedicated to DB processing will make things much smoother.
  
  2) Use a caching engine like TurckMM Cache
  
  3) Write more/custom caching code for slow pages/sections
  
  4) Benchmark, profile, analyze, tune and then repeat #4 ...
  
  This may sound expensive, but when you're talking about having 100 concurrent users such an investment is probably warranted ...
  
  If you have any other/better ideas, I'd be interesting in hearing them ...
  
  Greetings

  #1 will be the most immediate method of improving performance. Also, if you have a large amount of static content (stuff that rarely, if ever) gets updated, you may want to have them as simple includes rather then pulled from the database.

  So, if I understand it correctly,
  eg.
  1. AutoTheme might slow down the whole site itself
  2. modules which aren't used better be turned of, or deleted for better performance
  3. htmlpages loads faster, or does is store the content in the database also?
  4. more block equals slower site?
  
  All I know is that my provider uses an ISS II server or something like that....
  
  anyway, just asking....
  
  greetings from Belgium

  Yes, just as any extra modules will.

  Yes, simple reasoning there. There more your site has to load, the slower it will be.

  htmlpages also stores it's info in the database.

  See #2. The more info the server is sending to the client, slows things down. It may not always be by much, but it's a performance hit nonetheless.

  ok, thanks for pointing that out, thought I felt it something was slowing down my site
  
  Now I have to learn making themes without AutoTheme, will be hard, but I'll figure it out....
  
  I will delete a bunch of modules which aren't used.... A site with lots of ' useless ' options is nice, but I prefer performance....
  
  anyway, thx again,
  Igor

  I'm not suggesting you abondon AutoTheme. It's a very good tool. Every extra module you have will put a tiny bit of slow down on your site, but one extra component will be nearly unnoticable. 50 extra might give you trouble, but I wouldn't give up on AutoTheme yet. What is the speed your main index.php page is loading at right now?

  oh, ok. Then I won't :D, but I will get rid of not used modules, which aren't used anyway....
  
  not sure about my speed, I used all my bandwith [if it's called that way], so I'm reduced to a lower speed, even this site is slow like hell, fortunelately even my site is faster... :)
  
  I'll check it in the beginning of the mond, gonna change provider anyway... thx for the feedback.
