Hi Eric, First of all, please don't take it the wrong way, but... What is your experience in doing benchmarks? Would you provide a document with a detailed description of the benchmarking environment and tests you are performing? Are you only benchmarking for small static files? What products/software are you using? We all need benchmarks to see how cherokee compares to other web servers, but IMHO this is not a good foundation to say "Nginx is really 119x faster than cherokee" (of course, I can't assure the opposite). What I suggest is to define a benchmark protocol in order to have well documented comparison of cherokee against other web servers like apache, lighttpd and nginx. Cheers,
