Not with freeVSD, but I ran a couple of tests with ab, lots of requests of a
single reasonably large html page...
First, over a 10Mbit hub, ab -c 100 -n 10000
Document Length: 76649 bytes
Concurrency Level: 100
Time taken for tests: 902.773 seconds
Complete requests: 10000
Failed requests: 0
Total transferred: 774379085 bytes
HTML transferred: 770943851 bytes
Requests per second: 11.08
Transfer rate: 857.78 kb/s received
Second, over a 100Mbit hub, again ab -c 100 -n 10000
Document Length: 76649 bytes
Concurrency Level: 100
Time taken for tests: 92.905 seconds
Complete requests: 10000
Failed requests: 0
Total transferred: 771329781 bytes
HTML transferred: 767901915 bytes
Requests per second: 107.64
Transfer rate: 8302.35 kb/s received
The server is a K6-2 300 with 192Mb of ram...
