title: Tuning nginx worker_process to obtain 100k hits per min
body: <p>We have a server that is serving one html file.</p>
  
  <p>Right now the server has 2 CPUs and 2GB of ram. From blitz.io, we are getting about 12k connections per minute and anywhere from 200 timeouts in that 60 seconds with 250 concurrent connections each second. </p>
  
  <pre><code>worker_processes  2;
  
  events {
   worker_connections 1024;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I increase the timeout, the response time starts creeping up beyond a second.</p>
  
  <p>What else can I do to squeeze more juice out of this?</p>
