ran some benchmarks today with ab(posted some of the results on thelist
today) to see how we would handle a slashdotting.
i was actually pretty impressed with CF handling the load to say the
least :) we're running CF5 now on every *.evolt.org site that uses CF
thanks to an anonymous donation. heres some sample results of a couple
variables i used to simulate a slashdotting:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.20
Server Hostname: evolt.org
Server Port: 80
Document Path: /article/apache/17/16466/index.html
Document Length: 18078 bytes
Concurrency Level: 50
Time taken for tests: 506.435 seconds
Complete requests: 2000
Failed requests: 0
Broken pipe errors: 0
Total transferred: 36785776 bytes
HTML transferred: 36156000 bytes
Requests per second: 3.95 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 12660.88 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 253.22 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 72.64 [Kbytes/sec] received
i've been tuning it all night to get up to 4 reqs/sec for an article
page. i used the latest article for this test, but the frontpage, god
forbid if it ever got linked to from /., wouldn't hold up even close to
this.. i ran the test from leo.evolt.org so bandwidth wouldn't be a
limiting issue, but you can see even with that kind of load we're
pushing 2/3'rds of the evolt t-1. coupled with out usual traffic load
from thelists, member accounts, and regular websites - we'd max out our
t-1 before we ever got to the point of crashing CF, which is a good
thing in a way..
anyways, i'm bored. you all have to deal with it now by listening to my
geeky benchmarking happy good times.. :)
so, we're about as tuned as evolt is gonna get IMO. my job is done here,
i'm heading back to mexico or something ;)
