Basically i have a php script that listens for updates from a server, then acts on that info sending data back to the server based on settings the user makes in a control panel. It makes lots of queries to mysql in the process (quite how many i don't know how to find out)

Each user has 1 cron task always running. Would anyone be able to suggest how many instances per VPS server (share of dual quad cpu and 1.5GB ram) we could have?

If you need more info, i'll try my best to get it, thanks for your help.

I'm a total noob so please let me know if i have missed out any vital info.

(it's a game remote connection administration tool if that helps any)

This kind of thing is going to depend completely on the code and what resources it's using. The PHP side of things probably won't use much in the way of resources - by the sounds of it your MySQL database will be the one that does the vast majority of the work. – Andy Smith Nov 30 '11 at 21:43
