[wp-hackers] Forum post: Huge server hits

Wed Jul 13 01:27:36 GMT 2005

I just got back the results from the second test that used WP-Cache on
top of the install, and I must say in comparison, neither is showing
much differnce. It may be the insane settings I used on apache bench,
so if anyone could recommend some sane test cases to try it'd be
greatly appreciated.
