At one website we found the following text:
"Penny Auction Software is a very special kind of software. Its major difference from a regular website is the immense load it creates on the database server. Regular websites require some response from the database only when a user switches between pages. Therefore, if a user visited, let’s say CNN.com and looked at 2 pages, it created 2 database requests. Thus, for an average visit of 1 minute, 3 or 4 database requests are generated for each user. (That is a simplified statement; in reality more than 1 request to database server are created)
For penny auction software the situation is very different. A Penny Auction website gets updates from the server each second for each user! So, if your website has 100 users, it probably makes 100 requests per second. Why should it worry you? Because most of dedicated servers will have a threshold of a few hundreds requests only and if the software is not optimized for the ideal state the result would be massive spending on buying new servers immediately after first advertising campaign."
We can comment this as follows: it is correct in general, correct for standard/initial versions of penny auction software.
Usage of different professional cashing techniques allows to raise the number of users to a degree without torturing the server.
