simultaneous requests CPU IDLE

Question

Hello,

I have a server. It has 2 Gigs of Ram, 2 Processors, 3.02Ghz

I have my cf mx 7.x machine setup to do 20 requests. I run a
mysql database on the same machine. For the most part 75% of the
CPU usage is always free.

Does that mean I could perhaps increase my simultaneous
requests perhaps to 30?

I have read lots of sites about optimization and have read to
use 3 to 5 per cpu up to 20 threads for 2 CPU's.

I am having issues with some requests taking forever and I
believe I have narrowed it down to not enough Threads, and some of
the threads are being queued. So my thought was I could increase
the threads to 30 because I have CPU and Memory available. I have
thought about decreasing the threads too to see how the machine
would respond.

Any thoughts / comments are appreciated.

Thanks!

Randy

I'd actually back your requests down to 14-16. 20 is too many for a 2 processor system. This is one area where to much is bad. No matter how big your processors are.

If your system is actually running out of threads, it's going to tell you, explicitly in your log files. Also, if you turn on metrics you can see exactly what your thread count is doing.

You might want to look at other areas to reduce the amount of time your requests are taking. Maybe cleaning up the code, or queries or getting a bigger DB server, or some such. Or moving your DB server to dedicated hardware. Kinda hard to give you exact details when I don't know anything about your environment though.
