Re: CakePHP performance 1.2 - is future any better?

I can only agree with all these suggestions and add a little beauty i
was introduced to recently. X-Sendfile is a great for performance if
you do any file output from php. It offloads all the actual output of
the file to the webserver (nginx, Apache, lighttpd...).

For me, implementing sendfile for all file output was a 10-minute job
and I improved download speed by about 25% when testing to my home-
computer... and the cpu load showed that receiving an email was more
CPU-intenceive than sending a few dvd-image-sized files with nginx. I
believe that is what they like to call "low hanging fruit" in
corporate bullshit (that is a real language you know).

(I did also spend a few minutes finding out that nginx wants paths
relative to a configured folder while the other two main players take
a full system path)
