I finally got our load-generating machine to work properly. Here are some benchmarks comparing v29 with v30 of apache
http://webperf.org/a2/caw/29/caw.html http://webperf.org/a2/caw/30/caw.html The test consists of the test grabbing a random (but identical) outer page which include the same subcomponents, the number of requests slowly over time to ~1,000 open sessions. I think this shows that the new pools (really the only major change between 29 & 30 ) has a significant impact on stability under high load Ian
