Hello excellent friends

Hello excellent friends

[Curtis]

I have read your tun in article and I have tried to make sysctl changes - the benchmarks are not very significant. I love how well the signals are laid out and how excellently unicorn responds to them - I am hoping to get back to mongrel like performance . We were using nginx to haproxy to 32 mongrels
No I have set up a unix domain socket with 2mb send and receive buffer and a backlog of 2048 - I didn't see a change with the send receive buffer tuning and I have yet to try a smaller backlog to see. If that helps. Any info?

I am tuning for osx in dev and centos5 in production. Thank you for your great work cleaning mongrel into a first class unix friend.

Hi, I'm not sure what size of requests and responses you get, but 2mb
seems like a lot, especially for requests (unless you handle a lot of
big uploads).

Even with large requests/responses, huge buffers means more pressure on
the kernel allocator and you're also hurting CPU cache locality.  So
larger buffers can hurt performance as well as help, I'll make a note of
that in the documentation.

The backlog shouldn't change performance much.  A larger one can let you
withstand short traffic bursts and increase reliability while
benchmarking.

You're welcome!
