[wp-hackers] Sites running WP

Default WordPress 2.02 clocks at about 1.2 requests per second on a 1.8 Ghz Pentium 4 machine (Windows 2000, Apache Server 2.x, PHP 5.x) with 128MB RAM. The requests were made from a different machine with same configuration.

With wp-cache 2 performance improves significantly.

As Jeremy points out the major load on server these days is due to comment spammers.

I don't think we (b5media) are the largest on Matt's list, but we do about
25M pages/month (not counting feed impressions) running WP. No issues at
all, except the DB load that comment spam across 150 sites causes, but
beyond that it's nice and stable.

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any metrics on sites running WP?

I found the reference to About.com switching some of their site last  
Fall on Matt's blog. But was looking for possibly a listing of some  
major sites that have converted or are using WP. Just trying to build  
a case with my management for using WP over other blog/cms packages.  
Seems there is some major doubts WP can handle heavy traffic.
