Instiki, Webrick & ApacheBench?

Hello,

This being a Friday, I was idly trying to benchmark different little web applications, one of them being Instiki [1].

I'm using ApacheBench to simulate 10 clients sending 1000 requests:

% ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://localhost:2500/wiki/show/HomePage
This is ApacheBench, Version 1.3d <$Revision: 1.73 $> apache-1.3

...
Requests per second: 5.52 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 1812.81 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 181.28 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 18.35 [Kbytes/sec] received

Connnection Times (ms)
               min mean[+/-sd] median max
Connect: 0 6 132.3 0 2960
Processing: 872 1794 644.9 1662 6216
Waiting: 871 1794 644.9 1661 6215
Total: 872 1800 655.4 1662 6216
...

Out of the box [2], Instiki manages to handle a bit less than 6 requests per second... which seems, well, kind of low all things being equal :slight_smile:

What gives? Is such response rate to be expected? Did I mess up something?

Thanks in advance for in insights :slight_smile:

Cheers

Can you do the same on Instiki 0.10? On my PC it does ~30+ rec/sec. Still not very much, but a lot more than any Instiki installation is ever actually subjected to in the wild.

Unless, of course, you manage to write an article that becomes of
interest to the Slashdot crowd. :slight_smile:
