Well, I did run the tests. However, in all cases/combinations (new pool/old pool, threaded/prefork MPM), our limitation is the network bandwidth. We're currently pulling about 70-75Mbps which seems to max out our Cisco Catalyst 2940 (100BaseT) switches. This leads to about ~405rps for my test. This is a *good* sign however - in the (recent) past with Apache 2.0, I haven't been able to max out the network bandwidth. Roy has suggested using smaller files/requests - I'll try that next week. What I'll say is that Sander's new code doesn't crash (it is cleaner code). As far as performance goes, I can't really judge that with the network we have - as we can't get much better without a network overhaul. =) If you have the backplane (my guess would be Gigabit Ethernet) to support this, I can send anyone the flood configs I was using. They are similar to the URLs I posted earlier as a suggestion for an attempt at standardizing benchmarks for common httpd-2.0 code. For the curious, the machines we were using were both dual PIII/550s with 1GB of RAM running Solaris (client is Sol7, server is Sol8). They were yawning throughout the test (about 50% idle on the server). -- justin
