Hi,

	I am working on porting a site from a custom LAMP code base to Drupal 7. Drupal is running pretty slow on the same server config/VM that has hosted the site nicely for years. I have enabled Drupal caching but things are still sluggish. I am trying to determine what a reasonable hardware config would be to run Drupal. We currently run on a fairly standard LAMP stack and serve around 500k pages a month on a VM with 512MB of RAM. 

	Essentially my question is, how much hardware does it take to run Drupal compared to a straight php/mysql site? Also are there some configuration changes I could make that would speed Drupal up, other than the standard stuff I have found on the web? Any insight or comments or ideas would be appreciated.

	Thanks,
