That's right. For a database benchmark it is not a limiting factor, this
will be more on the db side.
However, if I try a non-forking server
################################################################
#!bin/picolisp lib.l
(load "ext.l" "lib/http.l" "lib/xhtml.l")
(allowed () "@start")
(de start ()
(html 0 "Hello" NIL NIL
"Hello World!" ) )
(let (P (port 8080) H "@start")
(setq *Home (cons H (chop H)))
(loop
(when (listen P)
(http @)
(close @) ) ) )
################################################################
I get roughly three times as many transactions, compared to the forking
server. I also did
$ siege -b -c 5 http://localhost:8080
But, as we saw already, this is only for an "empty" server. For real
applications the difference will be neglectible, especially as the fork
occurs only once for each session.
Cheers,
