Using not all hardware speed

[GiedriusQ]

Hello,

First of all I want to say hello to everyone in this forum and sorry if I posted my thread in wrong section.

Ok, now about my "problem".
Currently my server running on:
Intel Q6600 processor (4core/4th/2,4Ghz/8Mb L2)
8GB of RAM
3x120GB SSD (2 in software raid0, mounted on /files/ )
1Gbps network.
Debian Linux
2Core lite license.

Internet speed (IN) are around 200-300Mbps, OUT: 150-200Mbps
I think it's quiet too slow for such fast disk[?].
I'm using moded rapidleech script, so in fact it just read data from external sites and write data to files (located in /files/), then serve files to users. In one word, work with files.

So in my opinion something wrong with litespeed server settings, because speed is too low, IO sometimes gets very high, maybe someone can help me?

And there is another problem, after sometime server OUT speed become very very low. Sometimes IN speed also lowers...
When using nginx for file serve such problem with speed changes to very low never shows up.

Your throughput is not necessarily slow given your 1Gbps network. It depends on what kind of file (smaller files lower the bandwidth usage due to TCP overhead) you serve and where the bottleneck is.

From the 'top -c' screenshot, looks like I/O is not the bottleneck. server load is not high. Real-time stats show you only have less than http 1000 connections used. However, your lsphp5 has max connection of 1000 which is too high. It should be set to 100~150 (in your case). so is the PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN variable.

I did what You say, but nothing changed.
For example by internet max speed is 500KB/s. When I'm download file from server I get only ~100-200KB/s, but when using nginx and download same file I get all my 500KB/s all the time.
I think something really wrong with my litespeed server settings, but I can't find out what...
