Performance Testing: Apache vs. Lighttpd - Preface
So, I became curious about the performance of my site. This happened mainly because I hadn’t see the nice increase in performance from lighty I had hoped for. So I whipped up a matching apache config did a couple of quick ab tests.
You can see the results here:
Apache
Lighttpd
I know ab tests are not the end-all be-all of performance benchmarking, but I’m kinda disappointed.. I’ll go into more detail when it’s not one in the morning and I have to work. At that time I’ll also pose some alternative configurations. I’d like to see what I can get out of lighty because I was considering making a case for it at work…
Till then…
