Hello, I am running Apache/2.2.6 on Windows XP, testing on a very simple include testes, e.g. SSI === <!--#include virtual="modules/1.html" --> <!--#include virtual="modules/2.html" --> <!--#include virtual="modules/3.html" --> <!--#include virtual="modules/4.html" --> <!--#include virtual="modules/5.html" --> PHP === <?php include("./modules/1.html"); include("./modules/2.html"); include("./modules/3.html"); include("./modules/4.html"); include("./modules/5.html"); ?> I was surprised that PHP is faster, i.e. ab -n 2000 -c 10 http://localhost/benchmark.php => 99 reqs/sec ab -n 2000 -c 10 http://localhost/benchmark.shtml => 61 reqs/sec my PHP version is 5.2.5, and even don't have any code cache libraries (e.g. APC/eA) installed. Is it normal? Howard --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
