Yea, same thing over here too. Guess you just have to live with it when TA is as huge as it is.

Nothing wrong with making your thread titles a bit ambigously sexual :p

I keep getting a frequent error message from the boards saying there are too many connections.


Not exactly - I just upgraded hardware a few weeks ago.

Running a 64k chunk size on the raid array seems to have offered little performance increase over the 32k it was at before -- using thttpd (a lightweight webserver) to handle image loading (instead of relying on resource-heavy Apache) allows me to turn Keepalive on -- meaning that when you connect to the server to get an image it keeps that connection open knowing that you'll soon request more images - rather than closing it after serving 1 image and re-opening it for each subsequent request.

Now, by freeing up Apache in this way (which used to bottleneck with excessive image/database/page requests) I now have a situation where incoming forum requests (Threads/posts/searches) can be queued in a greater number -- thereby causing bottlenecks on the database end more frequently.

I'm gonna change a couple of other things tonight and see what happens, but that's it in a nutshell.
