Apache Hello World Benchmarks

Joshua Chamas writes "I have been running the Hello World benchmarks for years, and I have finally published the Apache Hello World Benchmarks site based on this data. Most people have a love-hate relationship with benchmark data, but I think its critical information to have whenever choosing what's right for your project. The beauty of these benchmarks is that they are open source, so one can run them easily on their Apache/UNIX system and pry them apart to see what makes them tick!"

    PHP scripts are compiled in run-time. You can speed up PHP significantly by using a "Cache" module that stores precompiled php scripts (compiled ONLY the first time they are requested) in memory that is shared among requests. APC is a great one and is available at: http://apc.communityconnect.com/

    Zend (http://zend.com) Also has a number of PHP goodies! Expect some significant speed improvements when using a cache! I highly recommend them!

    JBoss typically uses Tomcat (v3 or v4 Catalina) or Resin for serving dynamic web pages. Both Tomcat Catalina (v4) and Resin are included in the benchmark.
