[Pound Mailing List] Pound memory requirements

The Pound man page says "with a lot of simultaneous requests it will
use quite a bit of CPU and memory." This is a relative statement and
does not give any guidance as to the order of magnitude of memory
required. Some examples would be helpful:

- 1 request per second for a single proxied service: ~xxx KB/MB
RAM

- 10 requests per second: ~xxx KB/MB RAM

- 100 requests per second: ~xxx KB/MB RAM

- 1000 requests per second: ~xxx KB/MB RAM

- Is there a linear relationship between requests/second and
memory required?

Presumably the load imposed by Pound varies according to the work
it has to do. Requests using http on port 80 that are redirected
to https would presumably not require much CPU because SSL/TLS is
not involved. OTOH, I expect it would require more computation to
redirect an https request from port 443 to another port, and the
amount of computation would be comparable to that required by the
webapp itself when decoding the packet.

Thanks,

Mike
