Apache faster than Cherokee !
|
|
I am testing Cherokee on my Ubuntu 9.04 server edition (Intel i7 940),
For a small static html file (1.7KB), apache 2.2 is able to process 14000
Req/s and cherokee only 10000 Req/s.
I was expecting something about 28000 Req/s for Cherokee according to the
benchmark seen on its official web site.
So what's wrong ?
Here are some informations :
I have compiled cherokee from source version 0.99.20 (configure;make;make
install)
# cherokee -i :

Note : apache configuration is a standard one (out of the box), not
optimized !
May be it is a Ubuntu/debian issue : what do you think ?
