It's funny that I'm seeing this today, since just yesterday I was reading about varnish. I've been given the task of scaling up my first big Wordpress site for a client, which has been running pretty slowly -- it's been getting about 3 million uniques per month. I'm thinking the nginx-varnish setup described in the article that appeared on HN a few months ago (linked to elsewhere in this thread) may be the best way to go, along with throwing some more hardware at it. Does anybody have any additional thoughts about this process for a noob like me?
