Link: Surviving traffic storms with Wordpress

[Interesting link on surviving traffic storms with Wordpress](http://turbochargedcms.com/2007/04/weathering-heavy-traffic-with-wordpress-and-turbocharged/): not that I currently need it, but maybe in the future… ;)

In a nutshell:

1. fine tuning of Apache (adjusting #processes, keep alives and ListenBacklog to values that match your machine’s constraints).
2. fine tuning of MySQL query caching
3. installing [WP-Cache plugin](http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/) + adaptive switching on of WP-cache plugin (only in heavy-load condition)
5. disabling some plugins (the ones that take up a lot of resources)
6. enabling Squid caching for static content.

    You’re better off implementing this now. I didn’t know I was going to get Digged/Reddied/Slashdotted/TPBed and so I had to scrum — it’s a lot better when you implement it with planning.
