Hi,

I’m new to the list, and I do not want to bother you, as I’m sure this  
has been posted in past please tell me where to find the archives.

If for some reason someone has the answer here is my question:

I’ve this setup.

Gentoo Linux

Nginx with this USE flags:

www-servers/nginx http http-cache ipv6 pcre vim-syntax -aio -debug

Serving only static files (My blog is Jekyll generated, so only  
html/css/png files).

Now I want to know how to achieve the best possible performance, leave  
my server as it is? or implement (on the same machine) Varnish in front  
of Nginx to serve from RAM instead of disk.

I am using a Linode server with 512 Megs or RAM.

thanks for your help, either answering me or pointing me in the right  
direction to find an answer.

best regards.
