Apache Users,
As some of you may or may not know a fairly prominent commercial
webserver, LiteSpeed, claims to outperform even a well configured
Apache 2.2.x installation by orders of magnitude. They have some
internal benchmarks that appear to back this up, but, being a
natural skeptic, I wanted to test it out for myself. So I've agreed
to pit Apache and LiteSpeed (as well as a few other webservers)
against one another in benchmarking tests on a 2x Xeon 5520
machine. I, and hopefully others, will be configuring Apache.
LiteSpeed will be configuring their product.
What is the workload you are benchmarking? Static pages, PHP/
mod_perl code, CGI, etc.? Is the client a benchmark tool or a
browser, and where on the network is it relative to the server? How
are you measuring performance (page load times, requests/second,
etc.)?
-----Scott.
Scott,
I'm open to suggestions on all fronts, but as it stands we were going
to do the following with the ab tool:
-small static pages test
-large static pages test
-hello world php test
And we were going to also benchmark a wordpress/joomla site in a more
"real-world" load simulation test using the tool "siege".
All tests will be performed on localhost.
There are some more details present in the WHT thread I originally
linked, also.
Thanks,
Jarrod
