I've searched the forums, answers & blogs but haven't found much info about the 'speed' and how easy dolphin can be load balanced on multiple serves. I'm very new to dolphin, just checked the source yesterday but couldn't find much about it's cache system. I saw that it dosn't have any options for memcache nor apc cache, and only found some sort of disk cache. Is there anywhere I can read more about this system, and how easy would it be to have your own as a replacement to the current one?
I drive a pretty heavy site today using 2 xeon quad cpu servers with 8gb ram each. 1 holds the mysql+images while the other hosts the php. It works pretty well but I'm getting to old to be updating our own cms system and feel that it's time to adopt a well known system like dolphin, to be able to have more people working on it than myself. My concern is whether dolphins architecture can handle all our users or not as I do not want to spend yet another 2-3 years hacking it's source to make it 'work' fast enough.
comments and clarifications are welcome if you know what you are talking about, simply saying it's all hardware related is not a good enough answer :)
