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.
I'm a proponent of open source software and a long time admin, but I'm by no means a foremost expert in terms of Apache optimization. What I'm looking for is some advice on how to configure Apache so that it gives LiteSpeed a run for its money (and hopefully wins). So if you think you can help, either by giving written advice or actually helping to tune the apache install, please either reply to this message with your ideas, or reply on WHT where this challenge originated:
