I'm going to make some tests about this. Last time I tried Cherokee
was faster than Zeus. If it is slower, I'm going to treat it like a bug.
Also, there are features that we require before we could consider using
Cherokee. While I know some of them are planned, and some even started,
what is the status of each of these? (Some of these might already be
implemented, and I've just missed them.)
1. FastCGI content generators and authorisers. An absolute must.
2. FastCGI management (so idle FastCGIs are shut down).
Both of these are planned, and some work has been done. It isn't
finished yet, but I hope it will be soon.
3. Loading of virtual server configurations from an SQL database
(or another source) and only starting them when they're needed.
I'm not sure if I have understand what you mean. Could you please
show me an example of what you want to do?
4. Request Rewriting, either in Apache's or Zeus's flavours.
0.4.24 does include internal and external request rewriting methods.
It doesn't use any of those flavors, it is based on the Perl regular
expression library, so it should be really easy to translate the rules.
5. An easy-to-use web UI for configuring a cluster of servers, rather
than just one.
It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if we currently have enough
development power to afford something like that. At the moment, we have
to finish some features (like fastcgi) before start thinking of start
something like that. The good news is that the server internals support
it, and there is currently a library for this kind of stuff. Of course,
contributions are more than welcome.
Otherwise, great work. We're already using Cherokee for one service
that doesn't have quite such high requirements.
Great news. :-)
Anyway, I have to take a look at that performance stats. I will let
you know the result.
