Talking Litespeed vBulletin index.php benchmarks - Part 1

Just installed vB 3.8.6 PL1 test forum on test server to benchmark Litespeed v4.0.19. Only testing the front vB index.php page first.

Results are very much bottlenecked by MariaDB 5.2.4 MySQL server connection unlike standalone test.php or test.txt static file testing already done.

Summary
  • Litespeed again came out on top with least memory usage and serving up to 100,000 requests with 1,000 concurrency with no failed requests.
  • Nginx with php-fpm in TCP form came out in second place but had more failed requests as the concurrency and requests size increased. Update: Seems failed requests due to content length varying so not really failed requests see explanation here.
  • Nginx with php-fpm unix socket form for some reason couldn't even pass >5 concurrency level without php failing with 502 gateway error messages/upstream timeouts.
  • Apache kicked the bucket at 100,000 requests and cpu load was very high as was average memory usage.

:: Jan 28th, 2011: Correction to findings
I have to revise my findings a bit for Nginx. The failed requests seem to be from content length varying between apachebench requests and not due to failure requests related to connections/exceptions errors. Content length varies due to dynamic nature of php pages tested as as long as content length reported by apachebench as Document Length is nearly the same, it still means a successfully served request regardless. Full summary here

Server config
ran Unixbench 5.1.2 as per http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=924581 to see how it compares.
  • VirtualBox CentOS 5.5 64bit Guest
  • Xeon W3540 @3408Mhz (Assigned 2 cores only) - linux reports @3375Mhz
  • 16MB allocated GPU memory
  • 1GB out of 6GB DDR3-1550Mhz
  • 20GB out of 640GB Samsung SATAII
