I've been in the top 10 of HN and I think I saw at most 10-20RPS.

My $5/mo VPS running WordPress can handle about 50rps for an article page...

50RPS must be tuned or cached in some way, as the memory load for 50 requests to the full app should overwhelm the 1GB server and ~50-100ms is typical and the $5 instance has one core.

No tuning. I just installed WP, nginx, and MariaDB.

Here are the numbers from when I was testing how much comment threads impacts load time:

Ah, sorry. I expected Apache. Nice numbers.

Huh. That's a lot lower than I expected for a high ranked HN post. I'll agree, WP didn't start having issues until the 50-100+ range.

My site has also hit #2 on HN multiple times and never broken 10RPS during any of those times, AFIK.
