Hi everbody, thanks for your input. I changed the test function according to Chucks suggestion and the results are:
duration of <function testcgi at 0x401986f4> is 532.231880903 duration of <function testwebware at 0x40591df4> is 127.881435156 duration of <function testwebwarewkcgi at 0x40591e2c> is 1289.3273561 I have also made some test with ab: ab -n 500 http://localhost/cgi-bin/perftestcgi.py Requests per second: 19.33 [#/sec] (mean) ab -n 500 http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebKit.cgi/perftest Requests per second: 7.54 [#/sec] (mean) ab -n 500 http://localhost/WK/perftest Requests per second: 48.12 [#/sec] (mean) Now this seems to be realistic. Seems that my test funktion was not accurate. Webware (with mod_webware) is the winner, although not dramatically. But the speed gain with webware under real conditions can only be better than those unrealistic test scripts. Interesting that WebKit.cgi is much slower than plain cgi. Thanks a lot! The new used test script: #!/usr/bin/python import urllib as u import profile #import psycopg import os import time def durationOf(run, iterations=1000): # notice bigger range r = range(iterations) start = time.time() for i in r: # multiple calls to reduce overhead from "for" run() run() run() run() run() run() run() run() run() run() duration = time.time() - start print 'duration of %s is %s' % (run, duration) return duration def testcgi(): u.urlopen("http://localhost/cgi-bin/perftestcgi.py";) def testwebware(): u.urlopen("http://localhost/WK/perftest.py";) def testwebwarewkcgi(): u.urlopen("http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebKit.cgi/perftest";) def testpsycopg(): for i in range(100): c = psycopg.connect("dbname=timcos_0") os.popen2("python") c.close() #profile.run("testwebware()") #durationOf(testcgi) durationOf(testwebwarewkcgi) Sorry for sending some private emails, I meant to send to the list. -- Greg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
