Opera Unite Web Server Benchmarked

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 18, 2009 @02:40PM from the not-bad-for-a-bonus-feature dept.

worb writes "Opera Unite comes with a web server which is supposedly going to 'redefine the web.' But how well does it actually perform? Is it a threat to other server solutions? Someone put it to the test, and published the results. While nginx, one of the fastest web servers available, is 5 times faster, a PHP+Apache+MySQL server is only 2 times as fast. A compiled C++ server, the MadFish WebToolkit, is 6 times faster. He concludes that Opera Unite's server is impressive, and that the others come nowhere close to the ease of use."

My priority for any browser is standards compliance.
My browser of choice is Chrome.

Does not compute.
