It seems as though it's the very large discussion group that's the problem. I don't think it's so much the traffic.

When these pages are hit 'it' looks through 55,000 messages and says, ah, I need this one. Then, it looks again and gets the next one it needs, and the next, and so on until it's got all the messages it needs, and starts to build the rest of the page in question. Now, that takes a while and to do it, it spawns a thread.

I'm seeing up to 45 threads running concurrently. Usually its 6 or 7, with a background 4 running permanently.

So, what this is telling me, is that there's lots of pages being built at the same time, and it cannot respond to other requests while it's doing this.

badTrouble.gif This is just some of the messages I'm getting from the server. Don't be fooled by the sexBlog thing, that's just one site on the machine, it could just as easily be blogfootball.

Point is, The other server tests, that is, tries to get a page every three minutes. Every 3 bad requests, a message is sent. This is usually to inform me that the server is bust. But in this case, when I go there, I can see that it's still working and serving, but just can't take the load. Considering that these two machines site side by side, you'd expect that it could get pages more easily that anyone else.

More importantly, it's not getting pages regularly!

TIME.com: Pssst. Wanna See My Blog? - I believe this is the first time in my life I've had something in common with RuPaul. The cross-dressing superstar and I have both started blogging, which is almost as much fun as it sounds. A blog, short for weblog, is a kind of spontaneous online public journal.
