Re: Security (run as root).
In Unix/Linux, you don't have to.

Subject: RE: Benchmarks should be better
Just a little update..
I have completed benchmarks for the initial apache default index.html.en
with 4 different http servers on Redhat 6.2 with AMD Thunderbird 650 and
128MB Ram.
Apache 1.3.14
Tomcat 3.2
Weblogic 5.1
Orion 1.4.5
I couldn't believe my eyes when Orion served the static html faster than all
of them (Beating apache by about a 30% margin using 20 threads with 5
sockets per thread. Another amazing thing was resource usage.. The highest
CPU Usage I saw from Orion during the test was a mere 30 percent. If that
is not a convincing factor, then I don't know what is.
I still have some concerns about the security of orion (running on port 80
as root), and Apache is by nature a more memory intensive application. It
uses a multi-process -vs- orion's multithreaded technique. Each process
uses a few megs of memory, so for a large request base, apache will need
more memory so it isn't getting page faults all over the place. ( I am also
running oracle on this box which uses tonnes of memory as many know )
I'll slap in another 128M and see what happens.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Subject: Benchmarks should be better
Hey all,
I was checking out the benchmarks on www.orionserver.com and they are quite
interesting.
There are a couple of things I am wondering, however. How does Orion
serving dynamic content pit itself -vs- apache serving static content or
mod_perl stuff.
It would be nice to take the other "sucky" java servers out of the picture
and see a baseline comparison of Orion -vs- Apache on a lot of different
scenarios.
On a side note, can somebody forward me some performance comparisons from
weblogic? I know they can't be posted on the website, but I would like to
see them.
The reason I ask is of the following importance:
I see a lot of job postings for knowledge of Weblogic. And about 50% of
telephone interviews ask about it, or bring it up.
I want to know how it performs.
I'm thinking about setting up Weblogic with Apache and Orion, and doing some
performance comparisons which I will be glad to share with everyone.
Thanks for your interest,
Michael
