benchmark

mikeytown2 and I hijacked my nginx built-in caching thread for some benchmarking discussions. Mostly Boost vs Varnish vs. Nginx caching. It needs its own thread.

My quick and dirty ab testing on my home "dedicated" server is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/26485#comment-101296 with a couple more using keepalives is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/26485#comment-101518.

Ran across this 'speedtest' page today, it has interesting results especially cross-browser:

http://mootools.net/slickspeed/

If you run it on FF ( at least on my iMac and a nearby Vista machine ) moo and prototype are much faster, but extjs wins hands down on Safari ( OS X ) and IE7 on Vista. jQuery is middling IMHO the benefits in developer satisfaction are worth the speed cost vs prototype.

Discuss.
