Minimum Specs for GSA Platform Identifier – Avoiding 100% CPU & Maximizing URL/min?
Anonymous
Hey guys,
I’m running GSA Platform Identifier and hitting 100% CPU constantly. Even with good download speed, I struggle to keep a consistent ~10k URLs/min, while I’ve seen others reporting 40k+ URLs/min.
What I’d like to know is:
- What are the minimum VPS/dedicated server specs to avoid CPU bottleneck (so it’s not stuck at 100%)?
- Which resources matter most for higher throughput – more cores, higher clock speed, or RAM?
- Any tips on tuning settings (threads, bandwidth limit, disk type) to push URL/min higher?
Basically, I’m trying to figure out the sweet spot for hardware so GSA PI can run at max speed without choking the CPU. If anyone has benchmarks or real-world numbers (e.g., what specs gave you 40k+ URLs/min), that would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance!
