Hmm, well, with smaller files you have tcp slow start, and other effects
that can cloud your results - you specifically mentioned throughput, so
I tested with a fairly large file to eliminate those effects :)
Both perceptually and numerically. Since the deployment documentation
recommends not serving static files with catalyst I assumed it was normal.
I'd still recommend serving your CSS/JS/icons directly through apache,
it is more efficient.
But for things like document downloads with access control etc, then
just using:
http://search.cpan.org/~flora/Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.21/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Static/Simple.pm#serve_static_file_$file_path
very much works 'well enough' until you have lots (10s) of concurrent
downloads.
