Hi mvaughan27,
you can't ignore anything in your system. That means, your system
depends to the speed of your internet-connection, in this case: the
upload-speed.
Then, your computer, where everything is runnin' on, is the most
effective component. Then, what kind of cgis are you runnin'? Complex,
simple, what processor-time do they consume.
Be sure, system will run, but it will become very slow.
So, in your home-environment you can calculate like this. If I have a 1
- 2GHz-PC, it will have wnough speed to supply a uloadline up to 512
kbps, that's
what you have at maximun, at home.
The html-accesses are ucritically, if you don't run a webstore or
something like this, open it for 10 - 20. Ftp can be dangerous ... limit
this to 5.
Beware of complexity of your scripts, if you can resolve a problem like
this, do it clientside (JavaScript), that doesn't consume your
prozessor-time. CGIs run on your system :-( , don't forget!
greetings,
Achim
