Have you tuned your configuration and startup files?
Also, when hitting your site, I've found that it often comes up with a blank
page. Perhaps there is an error in your code which is throwing exceptions
which could slow your application down...

Subject: load test performance comparisons - again...
Hi all - I know - I know - beat that horse to death!! sorry but...
I'm still relatively new to tomcat and playing with maybe
migrating a couple of fairly large and active sites to jsp/servlets.
running 1.3.12 with 3.2.1 and jdk2-13 on RH7/2.2.16-22smp on a
2-processor i686 with 256MB (I think) - it's not a production server
but should be sufficient for development and some thumbnail testing
I guess.
I used apacheBench to run a quick test for loads of 50 concurrent
users and 1000 requests - not an extremely heavy load -
I compared a small version of snoop.jsp with a static html copy
of the jsp's rendered results and a similar report generated using
the neowebscript apache mod (like a tcl php)
As expected the static html was fastest, followed by the nws version and the
jsp, respectively - but the difference in the jsp was startlingly large...
static html 17.6 secs 56.9 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/snoopResults.htm
nws version 37.1 secs 26.9 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/snoopNWSstyle.htm
jsp snoop 130.3 secs 7.7 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/jsp/snoopBare.jsp
Running the same tests with more realistic number of requests given current
site loads (-n 400 -c 50) yielded similar differences...
static html 8.2 secs 48.9 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/snoopResults.htm
nws version 16.5 secs 24.2 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/snoopNWSstyle.htm
jsp snoop 54.8 secs 7.3 req/sec
http://216.62.183.108/jsp/snoopBare.jsp
I'm floored and discouraged by the speed (slowness) of the tomcat stuff?
and we're not even talking about any database use etc. in this little test.
Can anyone point me to some basic flaw in this as a comparison?
Maybe ab is causing each jsp access to incur compile time or something?
I was really really looking forward to being able to migrate from
tcl to java but this sort of comparative performance is going to
make it a VERY difficult sell.
