Have you tried nginx?

I’m not sure about running it with PHP (I know it can; not sure how stable).

I’ve served 140,000 live Ruby on Rails requests through nginx to mongrel in 24 hours. Not quite 100k in a minute but it gets the job done =)

I’ve been hearing so many good things about litespeed and now that they have monthly licensing, I would love to use it. If it wasn’t for litespeed’s “morality clause” I would, but they’re convinced porn makes people mentally ill, deteriorates human values and is more dangerous than smoking or second hand smoke and therefore will not license any site that has the slightest hint of adult content.

Darknet – I haven’t used those plugins but at a guess, they could use Javascript to count and register visitors, and then use a Javascript widget in the sidebar.

Justin – from what I’ve heard, using this plugin and IIS is faster than Apache!

Any tips on getting wp-useronline or wp-postviews to work with wp-supercache?

this would be really great if you could use it with gzip, for those of us who are trying to save bandwidth.

Great article thanks for posting the info. I also read the compression puts quite a load on the server and that the caching is the best approach to handling the issue. Great job with the article.

I would like to see what would happen to an IIS server under the same conditions. Would we be running for cover…..I think so
