The Apache server is also running the postifx and bind although they aren't resource intensive applications.
The Cron job for drupal runs every 50 minutes, and the agreggator module is enabled and fetches more than 30 rss feeds every time.
The site used to be hosted on a single Celeron machine but on peak times the CPU went up to 80 %.
Question : Does anybody know a website hosted on an IBM Mainframe? :) Todd?

Re: Rather small site arhitecture.
That's nice, at last a sample configuration of a startup website
Re: Rather small site arhitecture.
I would imagine it would fair better using Lighttpd instead of Apache, and SQLite instead of MySQL.
Re: Rather small site arhitecture.
I heard (don't kill me if i'm wrong) that lighttpd has some 'memory leaks' issues, nginx would have been an alternative tough I'm used to Apache so...
SQLite outperforms MySQL on a small scale app but what will you do with that file-io kinky stuff when your website reaches 1000 request/sec.
I know a site which was running on an AS400...
An important e-commerce website - one of the most important in Europe!... It was fun. All in a cgi-langage called Net.Data.
We had huge problems of scalability! "solved" (hum...) by migrating on an .asp site!
Re: Rather small site arhitecture.
I suggested LightTPD and SQLite because I've used both. And intend on creating a project using at least LightTPD.
LightTPD has a memory leak when using mod_cgi. Which you don't want to use anyway when there's mod_fastcgi or better options.
