How I conducted these benchmarks:
CPU: Athlon 4050e 2.1 GHz
RAM: 3GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Python 2.6.1
Rocket 0.3.1
Cherrypy 3.1.2
I used ApacheBench to run the numbers you see.
The wsgi app used was as basic as it gets:
def test_app(env, start_response):
start_response('200 OK',
[('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
return ["True"]
Apache (and mod_wsgi) were not particularly tuned but were included to
show generally where it would end up on scales. Don't take this as a
definitive look at Apache or mod_wsgi's performance (back you
nginx/cherokee/lighty trolls! ;-). This is about a server that can be
included in web2py.
You'll notice some blank entries in the numbers...here's why:My original intervals were 1,2,5,10,25,50,100,250,500,1000. However, I added in 6,7,8 after seeing Cherrypy's performance hit a wall. I wanted to show where that happened. I didn't see it necessary to include Rocket or mod_wsgi in those iterations since they saw no such wall. mod_wsgi does not include numbers for 500 or 1000 concurrent connections because at that point Apache started rejecting connections. This would not be an issue on a properly configured Apache. Once again, the main comparison here is between Rocket and Cherrypy's wsgiserver.

The code has changed since version 0.1, Let me re-run some benchmarks. I'll have time to tomorrow.For those curious, the basic difference is that Rocket handles a few concurrent connections as fast as wsgiserver and many concurrent connections much much faster. It's also smaller, with cleaner code.-tim On 3/11/2010 10:08 AM, mdipierro wrote:We moved from cherrypy wsgiserver to Rocket, by Timothy Farrell. I included an older version, need to include the latest one. It needs to be tested but let's wait I post the latest version before we do so. Why? @Tim, you made a very convincing case to me some time ago. Can you share your benchmark with the rest of the users? Massimo
