I use apache 2.0.59 and squid 2.6.STABLE13, and test with apache's ab command: ab -n 100000 -c 50 http://***/header.jpg When use apache only, the result is: -------------------- Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 2.805669 seconds Complete requests: 10000 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 325499626 bytes HTML transferred: 321909602 bytes Requests per second: 3564.21 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 14.028 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 0.281 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 113295.61 [Kbytes/sec] received ------------------------- When use squid with apache, test result is: ------------------------- Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 3.739039 seconds Complete requests: 10000 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 326745046 bytes HTML transferred: 322174102 bytes Requests per second: 2674.48 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 18.695 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 0.374 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 85339.04 [Kbytes/sec] received ------------------------------ So my question is: why squid is slower than apache? Thanks.
