  1. Re:Yep! on America's Most Wired Cities and Towns · · Score: 0

    Yup, see http://dls.jump.net. Just got 1.54mbs/384kb/s personal service and it kicks major ass.

    SWB tested the circuit at 6mb/s download.

    You should see the porno fly (he, he).

  4. What might be wrong on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1
    Yeah, thats why you pre-fork a bunch of processes.

    No one (unless they are fools) sets 'StartServers' equal to 10 and then blasts it with thousands of simultaneous connections.

    Might as well put out a burning building with a soda straw.

    They should have set 'StartServers' to 500 or 800. Jim

  5. APACHE SUX on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1

    Well, IIS is not much better. Any reason why they had to tweak these settings??


    Used the NIC control panel to set the following for all four NICs:
    Coalesce Buffers = 32 (default is 8)
    Receive Buffers = 1023
    Transmit Control Blocks = 80 (default is 16)
    Adaptive Transmit Threshold = on (default is on)
    Adaptive Technology = on (default is on)
    Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing = 1 (default is 1)
    Map Registers = 64 (default is 64)
    SMTP, FTP, MSDTC, and Browser services were disabled
    Set registry entries:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es: \InetInfo\Parameters\ListenBackLog=200 \InetInfo\Parameters\ObjectCacheTTL=0xFFFFFFFF \InetInfo\Parameters\OpenFileInCache=0x5000
    Using the IIS Manager
    Set Logging - "Next Log Time Period" = "When file size reaches 100 MB"
    Set performance to "More than 100,000" ? Removed all ISAPI filters
    Removed all Home directory application mappings except .asp
    Removed permissions for "Application Settings"
    Logs on the F: drive (RAID) along with the WebBench data files
    Server set to maximize throughput for applications when doing WebBench tests


    So much for 'smart/dynamic/self learning'.

    PS - What the hell is a 'More than 100,000" setting?

  6. only 10 start servers? on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1

    Yeah no doubt. The overhead of forking new Apache(s) to handle the large number of incoming connections *will always* slow down a system.

    Any good Apache administrator knows this.

    Also, under the IIS configuration is says "Server set to maximize throughput for applications when doing WebBench tests", but it *does not* say this under the Apache configuration?!?
