Builds taking very long time

@Falco I looked at data from other admins. My understanding is that each Unicorn forks a new process for each incoming connection. So while it’s technically one connection at a time, each unicorn can handle multiple concurrent users.

Going by the experience shared below, about 8 Unicorns can handle approximately 400 concurrent users

Based on that it appears that each unicorn can handle about 50 concurrent users. Now I do know that RAM and system resources make a difference in the number of forks that can be done etc, hence my assumption of 1 Unicorn worker can handle 10 concurrent users on a low RAM system (1 GB) at the low end.

Are my assumptions + conclusions completely off base? If so, what would be a range of concurrent users that each Unicorn can handle depending on the system resources (assume 1GB at low end and anything you would feel appropriate as high end)?
