It was conducted on a Pentium 133Mhz computer with 32Mb memory running Red Hat Linux 5.1. Orion was running under Blackdowns Java 2 port (thanks guys for the great performance it provided by the way). mod_jrun was installed in the Apache server to provide servlet support. All tests were performed by a remote host using five concurrent sockets to connect to the server and retrieve a single location, time after time. What was measured was general throughput and latency (time taken from the socket creation, during the writes and reads, to the sockets closing. The benchmarking application was custom made, it is a native NT executable, you can get it here (or the source here) to perform your own benchmarks. Static content (small file, ~0.5k) Apache: Pages/sec: 114.5. Latency: 43.6ms Orion: Pages/sec: 219.2. Latency: 19,7ms Dynamic content: (SimpleServlet) Apache: Pages/sec: 24.7. Latency: 201.8ms Orion: Pages/sec: 159.8. Latency: 32.2ms </quote> I understand about dynamic thing - no interface between HTTP Server to Servlet Engine, but somebody please can explain me, how Java-based HTTP Server can be faster than native ??? What about complex statics pages wit a lot of images / applets etc ... ?
