Hello HAProxy community, I wanted to compare how the newly released HAProxy 2.2 (Congrats!) behaves under heavy load so I've ran some tests on my x86_64 and aarch64 VMs:
https://medium.com/@martin.grigorov/compare-haproxy-performance-on-x86-64-and-arm64-cpu-architectures-bfd55d1d5566 Without much surprise the x86_64 VM gave better results! It is *not* a real use case scenario: the backends serve on GET / and return "Hello World", without any file/network operations. What is interesting though is that I can get 120-160K reqs/sec when hitting directly one of the backend servers, and only 20-40K reqs/sec when using HAProxy as a load balancer in front of them. I'd be happy to re-run the tests with any kind of improvements you may have! Regards, Martin
