Is there any well-established, respected benchmark for webservers out there? For programming languages I can recall this one: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ Recently, Tim Bray (of XML fame) put together the WideFinder benchmark on Sun hardware to test how many languages do when facing a trivially parallelizable problem. http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2008/05/01/Wide-Finder-2 Googling for "programming language benchmark" brings Debian's ShootOut project as the first hit but searching for "web server benchmark" doesn't see to get anything really meaningful. I'd love to see Cherokee rise some eyebrows in the web server industry in a respected web benchmark. Maybe something can be started and some big company like IBM or HP can help by lending not just hardware but some time of their engineers in order to make it really credible. I hope not to have sounded a bit harsh or unthankful to this other independent benchmarks but I guess having some big names behind a benchmark conducted over a few typical hardware/network scenarios modelled after real-world installations would really help Cherokee show what it's got.
