Hi Adam,

I know I say this every time such a request comes in, but it really 
looks like eaccelerator and TYPO3 caching are *not* working if you get 4 
req/s on such a server. How is static file output, what do the stats on 
eaccelerator.php tell you? Do you have tt_news caching enabled, does 
jp_pageteaser use caching?

Other than that, you really should slim down the generated HTML code by 
making CSS and JS external. This will not be such a performance gain, 
but save you and your users much time and traffic.

Greetings,
Michael

tell about the raw PHP/eacc. performance...
