Hey, I updated the benchmarks at http://www.chamas.com/bench/hello.tar.gz so that the Mason tests were portable ( I had hard coded paths before! ) and mod_speedycgi was optimized. Here's the numbers of speedy vs. registry, and note that a fair test would be really pit mod_proxy+mod_perl vs. speedy because of the speedy architecture. hello]# ./bench.pl -time 10 cgi.pm speedy ...
