[Pdns-dev] PowerDNS performance

[jerry.du]

Bert,

Thanks for your response. I tried set receiver-threads=16 but only get 40K
qps, but if down to 4 as you said, it is 43K qps now. I think the bottleneck
is in single thread cache. May be we need multi-thread cache for better
performance. How you think?

Somewhere around 50kqps there is a bottleneck that always requires work.

In your case, can you try setting the (undocumented) receiver-threads to 4?

Like this: receiver-threads=4
Can you also try other numbers?

In general, you will probably not be able to exceed around 100kqps because
of other reasons, but please let us know your results!
