here we are... I also had the opportunity to refresh my kickstart install with the final 6.0 and so scratch the beta2, so I got results also for that.
I used for client an external rh el 5.5 server where I have httpd-2.2.3-43.el5_5.3 and ApacheBench, Version 2.0.40-dev <$Revision: 1.146 $> apache-2.0 command line from client: ab -n 100000 -c 5 http://10.4.5.xx/test.html So the target servers are Dell blades M610 with 48GB of ram and 2-quadcore sockets and HT enabled (so OS sees 16 cpus) test.html put on internal disk RHEL 5.5 up2date (httpd-2.2.3-43.el5_5.3) Requests per second: 8686.29 [#/sec] (mean) RH EL 6.beta2 + kernel Requests per second: 7724.68 [#/sec] (mean) RH EL 6 (httpd-2.2.15-5.el6.x86_64) Requests per second: 9007.28 [#/sec] (mean) Note that running test from self gave results, in my opinion not meaningful: RH EL 5.5 from self Requests per second: 21508.65 [#/sec] (mean) RH EL 6beta2 from self Requests per second: 10117.01 [#/sec] (mean) This reflects your initial results, but doesn't match the benchmark results above that are run: 1) from external server and 2) using same benchmark version RH EL 6 final from self Requests per second: 11983.33 [#/sec] (mean) BTW: I noticed that on both rh el 6beta2 and rh el 6 final, after the end of the bench, for about 1-2 minutes I keep having many and many of the connections opened during the bench itself, in this state: ... tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:42447 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:32195 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:31138 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:45923 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:24058 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:42350 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:50975 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:36206 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:16189 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:45843 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:52303 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:49031 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:33901 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:48677 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:28692 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:36793 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:62740 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:62089 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:42205 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:47999 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:40877 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:20921 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:18546 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 10.4.5.39:80 10.4.5.119:40200 TIME_WAIT ... After about 2 minutes they are cleaned, but in rh el 5.5 it seems this is faster...
