[Live-devel] live555MediaServer performance improvement

[Ross Finlayson]

> I my experience, scalability issues with our server software are usually caused by running up against limits in either (1) the capacity of their network, or (2) the number of open files (sockets) that are supported by the underlying operating system (see http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#scalability ).  Increasing this limit usually solves the problem.

Note that Linux kernels also have a limit on the number of open files/sockets.  This limit can be reconfigured.

So which part(s) of the code are contributing most to the CPU usage.  Have you tried rebuilding the code for, and running it under, “gprof”?
