Hi again list, for those of you still interested I released a new version of the 'lb' benchmark tool with improved performances.
The trick was to modify how a single descriptor is allocated and initialized for being used in the outgoing HTTP request, in order to avoid to continuosly allocate/free memory for both the descriptor itself and the libevent 'evcon'. Details are in the ChangeLog. This seems to result in a 143% performance improvement with respect to its first version and almost 53% faster in comparison with the other tools 'cb' and 'ab'. Included in tarball there is also a version of the HTTP benchmark client 'bench_httpclient.c' making part of the libevent source distribution, which I modified to produce an 'ab'-like output parseable by a my script for comparison with the other tools (also included in the tarball). I do not believe the bench_httpclient.c can be considered a true HTTP client but it is an evaluable source of information in writing such kind of tools. I suggest all to take a look at it. 'lb' is available for download at: http://lb.tecsiel.it I am also working in order to compile out of the libevent svn tree so you can also find an initial version of scripts to use the GNU Build System /rocco -- Rocco Carbone mail-to: <rocco /at/ ntop /dot/ org> Pisa Italy Life is in the details In other words, you are welcome to use, share and improve me. You are forbidden to forbid anyone else to use, share and improve what I gave you. _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
