I created an application based on Webware and Python. I was surprised
why it works so slowly. So I decided to check how fast are different
Python solutions against PHP.
My hardware and software settings are:
WindowsXP Pro, Athlon XP2800+, 512DDRdual,
Python 3.3.2 stable
Webware & WebKit & mod_webkit.dll CVS 2003-09-19
Cheetah CVS 2003-09-19
Spyce 3.11
vs.
PHP 4.3.3 stable
MMCache 2.4.1
For page request I used wget.
My testing code is
=============
import os, time
url = [
r'http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testpython.py',
r'http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testcheetah.tmpl',
r'http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testcheetah.py',
r'http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testpsp.psp',
r'http://localhost/testphp.php',
r'http://localhost/testspyce.spy',
]
for u in url:
t1=time.time()
print '>>>%s' % u,
os.system('wget -m %s -o stress.log' % u)
t = time.time()-t1
print ' => time: %f s' % t
testpython.py:
===========
from WebKit.Page import Page
class testpython(Page):
def writeHTML(self):
cpunter = 100
i=int(self.request().field('c', 0))
self.write('<p>Try: %d</p>' % i)
if 0 < i <100:
i += 1
self.write("<a href='http://%s?c=%d'>next</a>" %\
(self.request().serverURL(), i))
else:
self.write("<a href='http://%s?c=1'>next</a>" %\
self.request().serverURL())
testcheetah.tmpl:
=============
#set $counter = 100
#set $i=$int($request.field('c', 0))
<p>Try: $i</p>
#if 0 < $i <$counter:
<a href='http://${request.serverURL()}?c=${i+1}'>next</a>
#else
<a href='http://${request.serverURL()}?c=1'>next</a>
#end if
testpsp.psp:
==========
<%
counter = 100
i=int(req.field('c', 0))
res.write("<p>Try: %d</p>" % i)
if 0 < i <counter:
res.write("<a href='http://%s?c=%d'>next</a>" % (req.serverURL(),
i+1))
else:
res.write("<a href='http://%s?c=1'>next</a>" % req.serverURL())
%>
testspyce.spy
==========
<%\
counter = 100
i =request.get1('c', 0)
%>
<p>Try: <%=i%></p>
<%if 0 < i < counter:{%>
<%i += 1%>
<a
href='http://localhost<%=request.uri("path")%>?c=<%=i%>'>next</a>
<%} else: {%>
<a href='http://localhost<%=request.uri("path")%>?c=1'>next</a>
<%}%>
testphp.php:
==========
<?php
$counter = 100;
$i =$_GET['c'] ? $_GET['c'] : 0;
echo "<p>Try: $i</p>";
if ($i > 0 and $i < $counter) {
$i += 1;
echo "<a
href='http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?c=$i'>next</a>";
} else {
echo "<a
href='http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?c=1'>next</a>";
}
?>
RESULTS:
=========
Webware servlet without templates:
>>>http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testpython.py => time: 20.078000 s
Webware servlet with its PSP templates
>>>http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testpsp.psp => time: 20.015000 s
Webware with Cheetah template/servlet:
>>>http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testcheetah.tmpl => time: 20.235000 s
Webware with Cheetah servlet (compiled with cheetah-compile script):
>>>http://localhost/WK/test/test1/testcheetah.py => time: 20.250000 s
PHP with mod_php4 and MMCache free accelerator
>>>http://localhost/testphp.php => time: 3.891000 s [mcache & mod_php4]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PHP as CGI
>>>http://localhost/testphp.php => time: 15.094000 s
Spyce as CGI:
>>>http://localhost/testspyce.spy => time: 53.672000 s
(I coud not test Spyce and mod_python because mod_python 3.0.3 does
not work with Python 2.3.2)
What you think about it? PHP with MMCache accelerator is about 6x
faster than teh fastest Python! I like Python but I am very
disappointed its performance!!! :-((((( The difference is so huge,
that I think about rewriting my Python code back to PHP....
