Hello,
it is my second attempt to switch from Gentoo to FreeBSD because:
- if you google for FreeBSD you get sexy images of girls in red wear
(turn safe search off)
- I am a bit tired to upgrade my hardened servers
- zfs supposed to work better and faster
However I'am stuck at the same issue where I gave up half year ago.
After setting up Ruby on Rails 3 (with rvm), Apache22 and Postgres, I
ran some apache benchmarks and figured out that while FreeBSD wins at
slow pages, at faster pages FreeBSD (for me) is way slower than Gentoo.
A dynamic page:
Gentoo:
# ab -n 1000 -c 12 http://randi7/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>
Requests per second: 169.88 [#/sec] (mean)
FreeBSD:
# ab -n 1000 -c 12 http://randi7/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>
Requests per second: 59.31 [#/sec] (mean)
A static page:
$ echo hello > public/index.html
Gentoo:
# ab -n 1000 -c 12 http://randi7/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>
Requests per second: 25047.59 [#/sec] (mean)
FreeBSD:
# ab -n 1000 -c 12 http://randi7/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>
Requests per second: 6160.29 [#/sec] (mean)
The faster the page is generated the bigger the difference is in
requests per seconds.
I experienced the very same results half year ago at my first attemp to
migrate to FreeBSD. All tests were done with more or less current
kernels (both systems). This is a totally fresh install on a different
computer.
Half year ago I tried all of apache, thin, mongrel, nginx and the
outcome was same. I guess it might be something with the connection but
I don't know what. Of course all tests were ran on localhosts.
How could I improve this?
Mage
