[TYPO3] Server - big enough (Athlon 1.2ghz)?

[Jochen Rieger]

Hi Stig,

> Though more memory would be desirable, - is 256 insufficient?

have a look at this article [1]. Michael Scharkow and Steffen Müller 
write a lot about those performance issues. After reading this we 
started stressing our own server (512 MB RAM) with SIEGE, that simulated 
25 users, each calling 10 pages.

Result: the serverload got EXTREMELY high. When testing uncached pages 
with tt_news records we even had to stop the "siege". Otherwise the 
server wouldn't have reacted anymore.

Let's assume that you will have 20 Sites on that server... editors are 
working in the backend, checking their changes on the websites and you 
will also have visitors on those sites. I think you might stress your 
server especially concerning the memory quite fast.
