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 testAnd 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
