Yellow, I've tested Zope and Apache on the SAME MACHINE Because of the Zope rendering on all objects before serving the request I've done a php script that reads an .html file and serves the output. Command used: ab -n 100 -c 10 <url> I didn't like the results!!!! RESULTS: APACHE Server Software: Apache/1.3.12 Server Hostname: 192.168.0.128 Server Port: 80 Document Path: /ger.php3 Document Length: 47349 bytes Concurrency Level: 10 Time taken for tests: 0.370 seconds Complete requests: 100 Failed requests: 0 Total transferred: 4751600 bytes HTML transferred: 4734900 bytes Requests per second: 270.27 Transfer rate: 12842.16 kb/s received Connnection Times (ms) min avg max Connect: 2 13 26 Processing: 29 22 14 Total: 31 35 40 ----------------------------------- ZOPE Server Software: Zope/Zope Server Hostname: 192.168.0.128 Server Port: 8080 Document Path: /rfc.html Document Length: 47349 bytes Concurrency Level: 10 Time taken for tests: 1.736 seconds Complete requests: 100 Failed requests: 0 Total transferred: 4802954 bytes HTML transferred: 4782249 bytes Requests per second: 57.60 Transfer rate: 2766.68 kb/s received Connnection Times (ms) min avg max Connect: 0 26 163 Processing: 42 137 130 Total: 42 163 293 ---------------------------------------- I think Zserver didn't actually give a very nice image of Zope!!!
