Hi,All, We have apache-2.0.54 installed on Solaris and Linux boxes. We did a bounch of Load-Test with KeepAlive On or Off on multiple jpg, gif, text files. The test results are discourage. The webServer has slower response time when KeepAlive is On compared to the condition when KeepAlive is Off. Can someone tell me what chould be wrong, or what is the trick to make the KeepAlive function as expect?
That's the beauty of load testing software. It all depends on how things are measured. If the load-testing clients are not using keep-alives, the server will almost certainly be slower with keep-alives turned on, because a bunch of your processes will be stuck waiting for requests on keep-alive connections that never come. Even if the clients *are* using keep-alives, you could see the same effect (to a lesser degree) if they don't balance perfectly with the server. In the real world, people with very busy servers and a limitted MaxClients (because of memory issues, perhaps) often need to turn down KeepAliveTimeout to keep up with the load. A better solution in development in 2.2/2.3 is the event mpm, which transfers keep-alive processing to a separate thread where it doesn't tie up the worker threads.
