Hello, I was having some problems on Zope's perfomance on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I've sent some mails to zope/freebsd-hackers and openbsd-tech but I couldn't get any usefull info. To summarize, I've written a small program (see below) that makes a lot of requests to Zope. While on Linux I didn't have any problems, on FreeBSD and OpenBSD it slowed Zope down and when I tried to access some page from my browser it would make even more than 5 minutes to load. I tried this with both 2.3.3 and 2.4.0 + HotFix. Now, when I compile python 2.1.1 with PTH instead of pthreads, the problem is solved and Zope responses normally. So, is this a bug on Free/OpenBSD's libc_r or is it Zope's? (I tried FreeBSD 4.3-Release, FreeBSD 4-stable and OpenBSD 2.9-Release) Giorgos Verigakis PS: please cc me, because I'm not on this list --------------------- 8< --------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <netdb.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct sockaddr_in sa; struct hostent *hp; int s, c; int i, t, len; unsigned long sleeptime; char request[128]; char *url="/foo"; if (argc != 4) { printf("Usage: %s <host> <port> <rate>\n", argv[0]); printf("rate in hits/sec\n"); exit(1); } if ((hp = gethostbyname(argv[1])) == NULL) { printf("error looking up host\n"); exit(1); } sprintf(request, "GET %s HTTP/1.0\015\012\015\012", url); len = strlen(request); sleeptime = (1 / atof(argv[3])) * 1000000; bzero(&sa, sizeof(sa)); bcopy(hp->h_addr, (char *)&sa.sin_addr, hp->h_length); sa.sin_family = hp->h_addrtype; sa.sin_port = htons(atoi(argv[2])); for (i = 0;; i++) { if (( s = socket(hp->h_addrtype, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) { printf("Socket error\n"); continue; } if (c = connect(s, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof sa) < 0) { printf("Connection error\n"); close(s); continue; } t = write(s, request, len); printf("i=%d: %d bytes\n", i, t); usleep(sleeptime); close(c); close(s); } } --------------------- 8< ---------------------
