Initial performance results for leader/follower MPM
I ran a quick performance comparison of the worker and
leader/follower MPMs.
Setup:
- 2.0.36, with 64 threads per child process for both worker and leader
- httpd and client both running on an 8-CPU Sun with Solaris 8
- test case: use ab to load a 10KB or 0-byte file (non-mod_include)
I need to do further testing with a better benchmark setup (a client
driver with more concurrency, running on separate machines from the
server), but these initial results are promising:
number of requests/second
file clients size (ab -c arg) worker leader
---- ----------- ------ ------
0 10 621 643
0 50 598 630
0 100 134 622
10KB 10 564 584
10KB 50 563 583
10KB 100 131 555
For the 10- and 50-connection tests, I think the difference
between worker and leader/follower is due mainly to the reduced
mutex contention in the latter.
