It would be good to see someone do this for mod_perl. None of the benchmarks I have done so far get anywhere near testing the scalability of systems in the real world, and it would be good to see this done. As a next step for the hello world benchmarks, I'll probably do a cross platform benchmark while hitting a MySQL database. An insert, delete, update, and 10-20 selects probably, but it will still be a small code base being hit. > On a totally different note, it would be fun to see how mod_perl 2 is > stacking up on the Hello and Hello 2000 tests. > Will do. --Josh ________________________________________________________________ Josh Chamas, Founder phone:714-625-4051 Chamas Enterprises Inc. http://www.chamas.com NodeWorks Link Checking http://www.nodeworks.com
