I'm not getting into any forum fight, which is why I talk with actions (ie graphs) so as to show I am not hiding or bullshitting. But those munin graphs I posted show quite clearly I could (if I could!!) push much much more than 90mbs on that site. But truth be told, I probably couldn't because the max is 200mbs, and as it only has a gbit card, I'd be stupid to let it run anything over than 6-700mbs max (~3x what it is now). But I'm happy knowing that the scripts and db can handle all that, as can the server, without any mem caching.

And no, I'm no big cheese - I simply make my money without mouthing off about it. If you know me, you know I only ever mouth off about technical points, this particular one being one of them.
That's all great, however a lot of people use scripts that are not as good and memory management - There are times when MemCache or APC is a good idea.

Another idea I have been playing with is pushing generated content to an NGinX Proxy from an APache server and caching it - Amazing results with WP.
