I ran an informal test for 9 hours last night on a Win98 PC comparing the latest tomcat(apache.org) code and the latest resin
(caucho.com) both using Suns JDK 1.2. I used 2 instances of socrates to simulate 100 users requesting a hello.jsp file at random intervals. Tomcat and Resin were running at the same time on different ports.
Result:Tomcat: Resin:
Total Requests Handled 260946546375
Total Requests Dropped 4691 0
Requests per Second .1 195
Average Latency98.17 .15
I'm assuming the dramatic difference in requests handled is due to a 60 second timeout on dropped requests.
I'm wondering if anyone can explain the dramatic difference in the results? Am I doing something wrong here to cripple Tomcat? (... and since I know the question will be asked: I have no affiliation with Caucho ;o)
