PHP stress testing

Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 10:29 am

This test was done on basic installs.
I did disable security systems like sentinel to prevent script exiting without a fully parsed page.

Just a static html file or image is on the sever:

Code:




Server Software:        Apache/2.2.8


Server Hostname:        localhost


Server Port:            80


Requests per second:    3216.93 [#/sec] (mean)

The following results are shocking! why can Joomla only handle 20 pages per second and others only around 40 pages?

Object and / or framework overhead?

This is a very good discussion. I bet Dragonfly and Drupal use some serious caching and lower the amount of queries necessary to generate a page.

Actually, caching is disabled.
RavenNuke isn't bad either with 144 requests.

Raven can probably confirm that there are only around 2 requests per second at his current servers.

The real thing you should think about is:

1. What if i get slashdotted?
2. Why are php based chats bad?
