I use PoCo::Server::HTTP in a low traffic environment. However, using it
and my PoCo::Deamon module in pre-forking mode produces the following
results.
Serving up inline content. That is, content generated with :
$response->content(<<HTML); ... HTML HERE ... HTML

Serving static content from a file.

Thanks for the details!
To be honest, I think these numbers are somewhat disappointing, I recall (I'm getting old ;)) stats from Apache serving static content in the 300/reqs per seconds range and I've seen peaks on our Apache/mod_perl "application server" (stripped Apache, mod_perl, with one mod_perl handler executing commands) of around 50/s. That was based on input on production servers, never really had the time to see where the max. was.
For me, it's no problem: the POE-based daemon I wrote won't be handling more than max. 10 reqs/second for the foreseeable future.
I'm just toying with the idea of replacing our app server with something POE-based, but it might not be worth it. Apache/mod_perl "just works", except for the extra hassles to share data and control concurrency between Apache children. I think I could come up with a more elegant approach using POE on that subject (sharing data/concurrency control etc.) but if I won't get more than 40 reqs/second, that elegance isn't worth it.
Cheers,
Bas.
