Hi,

here is a small apache benchmark between RHEL 5 and RHEL 6.

RHEL 5: Requests per second: 8790.99 (11.375281 seconds)
RHEL 6: Requests per second: 4863.53 (20.561 seconds)

What surprises me is that RHEL 5 is almost 90% faster than RHEL 6???

Here is the full benchmark:

Try disabling atime (noatime mount option) on the partition you are using for the webserver so the 'last accessed' stamp doesn't have to be updated. If you are using your root partition for the webserver, you can disable it on the specific files and directories by using 'chattr': http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap6sec73.html.

Also, try adding 'commit=30' to the mount options for the partition.
