If you've already narrowed it down to php, jmeter probably won't help
you further.
Are you getting any error messages in your apache log?
If not, check the log level in your php.ini file and set it to log
everything.
Is there not a list or forum for horde? Try posting there.

I will look for jmeter.

Sorry Paras, I didn't catch it right , then the behavior is :

Non Database based (perform good)

is this right ?
Asuming this is the case, then you should check your database server
to see if you're seeing stress signs on it.
Also, if you really want to load-test your application, then you
should consider a more complex test, using jmeter or some other
testing tool, where you can create random waits and other test
artifacts.

Process waiting for run time (r) seems to be high. But don't know if
it

normal with 100 concurrent users.

Sorry again, Paras. This time I erred in two ways: I said you
were
testing
at 300 connections per second. Actually, your -c parameter is 100
so
you are
testing at 100 concurrent requests (not requests per second; the
actual
number of requests per second is probably far higher).
Suggestions:
Post your complete ab results back here
You might want to run your test against a (non-encrypted) http
url
(as
well as the encrypted https url you are using) to see to see if
the
encryption process is a significant part of the processing time.
(I'm
guessing it will be.)
FWIW, I'm posting my own ab results below. I ran ab from my
desktop
against a simple login screen on a webserver running on a
dual-core
laptop
on the same local network using a command of "ab -t 10 -c 30
http://192.168.1.3/Login.html";. As you can see, I was actually
completing
573 requests per second!:

True . But I am only hitting the login.php page from ab to
benchmark.
Thanks
Paras.
(Pardon me for not reading your op more carefully.)
I am not familiar with ab, but after a quick read, I have one
observation:
You say you are building a system to support 200+ concurrent
users
on
horde. I assume that means 200 users concurrently running horde
and
therefore checking their inbox every minute or so. That would be
about
3.3
requests per second.
It looks to me like your ab test is testing at 300.0 connections
per
second.
In other words, perhaps you needn't be too concerned about
sluggish
performance from the ab test.

Hi,
Looking for recommendations.
I need to serve 100-200+ concurrent users to provide php based

client (horde). I have setup memcached and php-fastcgid for
this
purpose.
The server has four 2.2G AMD optereon cores with 8GB of
memory.
I am
doing
stress test using ab as: ab -t 36000 -c 100
https://url/h/imp/login.php.
What I have noticed if the number of concurrent users are more
than
around
25, I get the sluggish performance and I can see linux load
rising
high to
25 to 30 and all the cpu cores are approximately 75% used.
This is what I have in config files:
mpm worker:
--
<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 15
