Numbers says
that Cherokee 0.4.29 (released on November 2005)
is 20% slower
than lighttpd 1.4.11 (released on March 2006),
when downloading 16 KB files.
Surely the difference in speed is much higher
with smaller files (less than 4-5 KB).
This is expected, the following reasons
should be taken in account.
1) The comparison is a bit unfair because
Cherokee is still in a wild development phase
whereas lighttpd has crossed the 1.x barrier
ages ago.
2) Cherokee 0.4.29 is more than 4 months older
than lighttpd 1.4.11.
3) Current stable release of Cherokee (0.5.5)
is a bit faster than 0.4.29.
4) While many areas of Cherokee are well optimized
others aren't at all yet,
so I think there is a lot of room
for improvements which will come progressively
with 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 series.
IMHO, right now,
it is a bit too late to make big improvements
to upcoming 0.6.
Curing the current small performance regression (of 0.6 against 0.5)
and fixing as many corner cases as we can,
could be a very reasonable short term target
in order to release 0.6.0
before the end of this year.
Last but not least, it would be cool to:
1) translate above benchmarks from Spanish to English;
2) repeat the benchmarks with future versions
of apache, cherokee, lighttpd;
3) track the speed improvements among
different versions of cherokee.
Greetings.
