Site performance

I "think" I managed to get php-fpm working reasonably well with my Centos apache server. Running memcached and apc with 2GB of RAM on a VPS.

I am now planning to tackle Varnish. My question is should I be running Nginx for the varnish "static" anon content and/or the entire Drupal 7 site?

Looking around the web, there appear to be many examples of deploying Varnish with Nginx, not so much with apache?

Hello.

Looking for other comments related to the use of:

https://drupal.org/project/entitycache

with the current BOA 2.0.9 setup.

Do you use it along with Boost? Core Caching? Redris?
Performance benefits? Server impact, etc.

Thanks,
Hg

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project to convert a static HTML newspaper site (with about 1700 articles in English and Spanish) to Drupal 6. Most of the data is imported and the site is pretty much assembled, but I am running into some major performance issues that I need some help with.

The basic content type used throughout the site is "Article", which has about a dozen CCK fields.
