Comment on 30x Faster Cache and Site Speed with TMPFS by Matthew Kettlewell

Where are you finding the directory for the tmpfs files to rsync with?

for instance you have: /_b/tmpfs/cache/

Is there a way ( command ) that will allow me to find this easily?

Three questions:

Will AACC be updated to work with WP 3.1.1?
Can this work with other cache plugins, like Quick Cache?
Will this work on Cloud hosts like Rackspace?

Much appreciated.

@Sean Smith

You are correct. The current (sub/multi)domain structure of askapache is only the 2nd generation of experiments.. I have learned a lot by looking at the methods employed by the best in the business, sites like akamai, google, youtube, gmail, and others and am planning a third generation update of the domain structure.

So far I am planning on using net.cdn.askapache.com img.cdn.askapache.com etc.. type of setup.

In fact the way dns lookups occur, it's always good to keep the same toplevel domains. That's because .info domains have different parents in the dns system than .net and .com, so the DNS is much faster for 2 .coms.

Add to that another toplevel domain in common, askapache.com, and another, cdn.askapache.com, and the DNS issue will be optimized greatly. Then, the additional subdomains of say, img.cdn.askapache.com and cgi.cdn.askapache.com will house different content to optimize several facets of HTTP communication.

Basically the askapache network has grown much more sophisticated in terms of networking, internal request handling, multiple server installations for different data type, etc.. But the way I do things, slowly I guess, I always pay attention to the details, and everything I do today still pretty much fits this posts philosophy of compartmentalizing and working to work less.

I'd love to explain more... rather get it done.

Thanks for your comment!

static.askapache.com correct me if my train of thought is incorrect hear in saying so but I believe you are taking a performance hit with this setup and should replace that url with another domain name such as static.askapache.info if possible. Since it hasn't already sent cookies? However I stand to be corrected here as the additional DNS lookup may slow things down as well. What are your thoughts on this?

Really static was about twice as fast according to Google until we upgraded to WP 3.0 now they both come in at 3 seconds. Y slow says it is 1 second. So who do you believe?

btw, AskApache, try http://www.dyndns.com/services/springserver/ if you will need fast machines and networks for another project. They put their hosting stuff in next to their DNS hardware which needs to be 1 hop to multiple tierone band width providers.

How does this effect requests per second? You mention 30x but I don't see any ab benchmarks. Main reason I'm asking is linux will cache frequently access files in ram via the buffer cache, so I'm wondering if there is any real benefit to using TMPFS? One way to find out is ab ;)
