Right now, I'm getting 22k reqs/sec from Apache httpd, and 18k/sec from lighttpd. Simple things like using epoll, or the way the worker balancing is done have huge effects compared to the tiny improvements refactoring code can have. > This seems to be more viable for our threaded MPMs. For the prefork > MPM, maybe a goal for 10,000 connections might be impractical. With prefork I can generally push about 27,000 concurrent connections before things get hairy. With worker, I have a usable system up to 83,000 concurrent connections, without much effort. > I haven't done any benchmarks myself, I've just read results so anyone > correct me if I'm wrong.
