This is true also on Linux desktops. As I've been benchmarking and profiling ZF for the 1.7.0 release, I've occasionally run benchmarks on my own machine (which runs Ubuntu). Interestingly, I often get very different results than when I run on a machine setup specifically as a production environment for benchmarking. Whenever I have doubts, I try on the production-tuned environment for a sanity check. > And if one would perform benchmarks on a Windows server then you > should at least use the most common software combination of a > real-time production server which would be Windows + IIS and not > Windows + Apache. Precisely. Windows + IIS + FastCGI is the preferred and most performant way to run PHP when on a Windows environment. Apache simply does not take full advantage of the OS in this environment, which is why MS put effort into the FastCGI+PHP environment. The point is, if you're going to do serious benchmarks, use a machine appropriately configured for production use; anything less is going to give skewed results. > On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 9:46 PM, ekerazha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Martin Martinov-2 wrote: > > > > The bare fact that they say the tests were run on a windows vista pc > > says much by itself :-) > > > > Are you (and other professed software architects) saying that there's a > "Windows Vista-way" and a "Linux way" for PHP programming?
