New subject: Specs & Performance Question

27 Dec 2008

Make sure the following is done:

Note: We recommend disabling the InnoDB storage engine in MySQL. If you use InnoDB,
recovering from an unexpected system restart will be more difficult. You can disable
InnoDB by including a line that says skip-innodb underneath the 'datadir' line in
your .my.cnf file.

first up I have no direct experience of Drupal.  However..
 The most important thing is to check you're not swapping.  You
 should see how big the typical Apache child process is and then see
 how many of those you can fit in your RAM, setting maxclients
 appropriately.
 As Duane said, if you can use Lighttpd instead of Apache then that
 will help.
 Also do not neglect your MySQL configuration:
