To get the following results I used ApacheBench 2.0.40 with "ab -k -c 100 -n 6000 127.0.0.1/aeh.gif". The aeh.gif has a size
of 1010 bytes and should normally fit together with its http header in one packet. I testet lighttpd 1.3.2, dpfTVS 2.0.915
and hssTVS 0.138 against each other. dpfTVS ran in SCHED_RR with a priority setting of 1 (which is the lowest I can set for
it) while all others used SCHED_OTHER (normal) with a nice of 0. The test computer was an AMD Athlon 1400 with 512MByte DDR266
ram, the OS was SuSE 9.1 and the computer was rebooted between the different server sessions.
A few thoughts to the results
I kinda forgot to include the values for non-keep-alive access. Those would have been:
| 1852 | thttpd |
| 1844 | lighttpd |
| 1957 | dpfTVS |
| 2412 | hssTVS |
Interesting, isn't it? Keep-Alive brings dpfTVS to 184% and hssTVS even to 192% of their normal operation speed, while
lighttpd only manages to get to 126%. What we see is a smashing victory of my 2 servers, with lighttpd only reaching 50,4%
of hssTVSs speed. Even against the inferior architecture of dpfTVS it comes short with barely 65%. Yep, I am proud.
