hello all i'm about to jump into uncharted waters (well, for me at least) i have a news site, and would like to use ZCatalog to present, index, etc news. all's well and good. i have a functioning ZClass, that is catalog aware, and searchable. what i'd like to know is -the stability of ZCatalog as of 2.2.5. -what's in store in 2.3 -upgradability from 2.2.5 to 2.3 -heartstopping bugs that i may have not encountered yet -performance speed/response. with my limited tests[1], i got ok response time, compared to what i have now where i iterate through objectItems/Values. but when i cache with CachePool[2], response is better. correct me if i'm wrong. i'd like to not go thru what i'm going thru now. but will this hold water? especially since i expect more requests. thanks ---8<-------------------- [1] /usr/sbin/ab -n 300 -c 200 myurl This is ApacheBench, Version 1.3c <$Revision: 1.38 $> apache-1.3 Copyright (c) 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Copyright (c) 1998-1999 The Apache Group, http://www.apache.org/ Server Software: Apache/1.3.9 Server Hostname: 203.106.2.200 Server Port: 80 Document Path: myurl Document Length: 9644 bytes Concurrency Level: 200 Time taken for tests: 33.586 seconds Complete requests: 300 Failed requests: 0 Total transferred: 3030864 bytes HTML transferred: 2916288 bytes Requests per second: 8.93 Transfer rate: 90.24 kb/s received Connnection Times (ms) min avg max Connect: 1 45 162 Processing: 736 14748 25346 Total: 737 14793 25508 [2] /usr/sbin/ab -n 300 -c 200 myotherurl This is ApacheBench, Version 1.3c <$Revision: 1.38 $> apache-1.3 Copyright (c) 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Copyright (c) 1998-1999 The Apache Group, http://www.apache.org/ Server Software: Apache/1.3.9 Server Hostname: 203.106.2.200 Server Port: 80 Document Path: myotherurl Document Length: 9524 bytes Concurrency Level: 200 Time taken for tests: 7.646 seconds Complete requests: 300 Failed requests: 0 Total transferred: 2949432 bytes HTML transferred: 2862705 bytes Requests per second: 39.24 Transfer rate: 385.75 kb/s received Connnection Times (ms) min avg max Connect: 1 44 83 Processing: 320 3291 4800 Total: 321 3335 4883 -- http://www.kedai.com.my/kk http://www.kedai.com.my/eZine Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and raindrops taste like tears .. without the pain
