Thanks Alex - I must have missed the num-calls value on my initial reading of the man page for httperf. I suppose my real question is more along the lines of the fact that I suspected the Request Rate to be significantly higher than 1.7requests per second, especially in light of request rate for a page served only by apache (closer to 3000 requests per second). Per the tuning document, if my mongrel-served requests per second are HORRIBLY slower than the apache numbers, there's tuning to be done. If anyone has a thought on where this tuning might occur, I'd love to hear it. Thanks for your help.
Anecdotally, the site 'feels' snappy, but testing it with httperf reveals
what appears to
be terrible throughput.
What's surprising? 700 msec response time would feel snappy, it's sub-second, after all. Of course, it's too long if you are looking for
10 req/sec throughput.
As an aside, you should use bigger num-calls value, opening 20 simultaneous connections and issuing one call on each doesn't usually tell you much. -- Alex
