I've done some server benchmarks - Pylons+server using Cherokee and Lighttpd with SCGI, nginx FastCGI and reverse proxy and cherokee won. The results aren't online yet as I wait for the domain to redirect to my new site :)
I've also downloaded cherokee-0.6.0b396 from the list and tested it today. It compiled ok on adm64/gentoo system. But the benchmark (httperf) showed that there is a "bug" or something. I've used this config: ################### server!port = 80 server!timeout = 20 server!keepalive = 1 server!keepalive_max_requests = 1000 server!pid_file = /var/run/cherokee.pid server!server_tokens = full server!panic_action = /usr/bin/cherokee-panic # Default virtual server # vserver!default!document_root = /home/piotr/d/searchengine/ vserver!default!directory!/!handler = scgi vserver!default!directory!/!priority = 1 vserver!default!directory!/!handler!balancer = round_robin vserver!default!directory!/!handler!balancer!type = interpreter vserver!default!directory!/!handler!balancer!local_scgi2!host = localhost:8080 vserver!default!directory!/!priority = 1 #################### And Pylons/SCGI works, httperf with 100con/sec works nice, 0,1 ms faster response time than 0.5.4 (statistical error, but ;)) but when I go to 300con/sec cherokee likes to hang - stops responding (pylons SCGI server doesn't show new requests comming in) this is very odd since I've pushed 0.5.4 to 1000/sec which return most errors but the server didn't breake. When the server hangs I see some extra cherokee in "ps aux": ################# root 8113 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 23:00 0:00 [cherokee] <defunct> root 8114 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?
