Also, are the systems serving static content or dynamically generated
stuff? Static content (HTML files, JPEGs, etc.) requires very little in
terms of CPU and memory performance whereas dynamic content (Perl, PHP,
etc.) is a whole different ballgame (where optimizing the code can be of
greater importance than tuning the OS). If it's dynamic, does it use a
database and is the database on the same machine(s) or separate from the
webserver(s)?
