Optimization:

Run three servers, one with mysql, one with sendmail, and the last one with the web front end.

Beyond that, it's primarily a matter of optimizing your services and kernel.

If you're running over 10,000 users/server and need some custom optimization, call us at (800) 538-0538 and we'll crank out a custom version for you!
