Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Aolserver 4.5 multithreading

Tom, I hope your patch to 4.5 to print the threadpool name will get in quickly, I'd like to do more tests as I am still not happy with the performance.

The problem is that even that threadpools seem to work, or at least are loaded (see below), when I run "ps -eLf" I get only 15 threads open.

1. In my understanding there in fact should be at least as many as the sum of all threadpools minthreads in my case around 90.

2. When looking at network stats with "netstat -s" (see below) the number of active connections is strangely low compared to passive conns and high number of failed connections.

Tcp:
20778 active connections openings
1798957 passive connection openings
574669 failed connection attempts
98681 connection resets received
112 connections established
45683111 segments received
57018897 segments send out
866619 segments retransmited
667 bad segments received.
220484 resets sent
