[Zope] More Pystone benchmarks...

[Tony McDonald]

Hi all,
did some more Pystone benchmarks. As usual, with all benchmarks treat 
these as total fabrications...

PowerMac 5400 (180 MHz 603e) running linuxppc (this is my dev box at 
home)  = 890
iMac (266 MHz G3) MacOS 8.6 =  4800
Sun (4 x 250 MHz Ultrasparc II)  running Solaris 5.6 = 2200 (lots of 
stuff going on)  (a)
Sun (1 x 350 MHz Ultrasparc IIi ) running Solaris 5.7 = 2600 (lightly 
loaded)  (b)
DELL (Pentium III 450MHz) running SUSE 6 = 5800

using Apache benchmark with a static HTML page through Apache, not 
Zope (page may have a couple of SSIs in it);
(a) concurrency = 250, number of times = 10,000 gives 457 requests/s
(b) c= 250, n = 10,000 gives 141 requests/s
ie these boxes aren't slow...

Q: How comes the Sun boxes are just so bad at Python? is the Sparc 
architecture *that* bad?

weird.
