    Are there any server load testing data available for a default install of WP? I ask because one of our university’s sys admins believes it might be a hog and is preparing a set of tests to find out. We are currently considering deploying WP for a number of sites and he is worried about server load.

    It’s as much of a hog as any heavily-featured PHP application. 😉

    You want an opcode cache (APC, etc), likely then some caching daemon (memcached), WP-Cache2 if you want to cache static pages, or the WP internal object cache mechanism if you want to cache frequently-hit queries. Then you want MySQL configured with a decent query cache itself, and you want a goodly amount of RAM in the box.

    Folks over at the WPMU forums can probably talk more about how to optimize for very large WPMU installations…

    Thanks. Have you ever come across any comparative data – i.e. WP versus other PHP apps?
