Thanks for your input.
I think you are correct that the memory access comparison isn’t fair. I don’t
have time right now but I’ll try to come up with a better comparison.
I’m not convinced that the file comparison is fair. If LiveCode is appending
the data to the file rather than
Hi Andre
I agree with your comments on the appropriateness of the tests. I’ll give some
thought to incorporating more I/O based tests.
Do you think that having FastCGI support so that LiveCode could be run behind a
load balancing server would be an improvement from a scalability point of view.
The benefit of FastCGI would be that the Fast cgi instance would always be
running and would not need to be restarted every time a .lc script is
parsed saving on the execution time.
Even as a CGI process, LiveCode should already be able to run behind a load
balancing server,
Kind Regards

Eons ago I created a library to do FastCGI from LiveCode. Even though my
library supported multiplexing stuff LiveCode could not respond to more
than one user at a time. If LC was multithreaded or had co-routines or
fibers or whatever lightweight gizmo they could create in Scotland to let
us run

My PHP is weak, but if the memory access test is a regular array, then
comparing it to a livecode array is somewhat apples and oranges, since LC
is really a hash. But on the other hand, there's no way to do a simple
array in LC, so it's not like you can do better.
For the file access test, your
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your testing!
I think we're approaching this performance issue wrong. Most webapps will
be I/O bound and not CPU bound. Calculations are not the most common thing
going on but I/O in the sense of reading and writing from database and
files are. Also the only way to deal with
In a previous email Richard Gaskin, the LiveCode Community Manager, wrote
Given the role of memory and performance for scaling, if we want to see LC
Server taken seriously as a professional server tool we need to identify and
eliminate any significant performance difference between it and PHP.”
