eWeek Retest Shows 2.5-fold Apache Speedup

Posted by Hemos on from the varOOOMMMMM dept.

A reader writes "There's a retest story on ZD-Net about an upgraded Apache system. Apache 1.3.19 running on a Red Hat Linux 7.1 system upgraded to the 2.4.5 kernel was able to process at peak throughput 4,602 Web requests per second. The last time eWEEK Labs did a big round of Web server benchmarking on Linux was two years ago this month, when we did a retest of Linux and Windows performance numbers as an audit of the Mindcraft Inc. tests.

  1. No comparison to NT by mgkimsal2 · · Score: 4

    But they've not done a recomparison of NT/Linux. It's great to see Linux/Apache together making enormous strides, but NT hasn't just remained static. NT5 and IIS5 have surely made some improvements in speed, etc. Any current NT numbers on similar hardware?
