Re: [RFC] Benchmarking Apache::Registry and Perl Content Handler
Hello!
Can you please provide the technical specifications for the hardware that performed these tests.
Thanks!

Sure, but the point here is a comparison and not absolute values,
therefore I believe this doesn't change a thing. Am I wrong?
Anyway, here are the relevant specs:
Both the client (ab) and server were running on the same, quite loaded
machine, where 25% of CPU were eaten by xmms :)
SW:
Perl: version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux
Server: Apache/1.3.10-dev (Unix) mod_perl/1.21_01-dev
HW: Memory: DIMM 256M
CPU:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 5
model : 4
model name : Pentium MMX
stepping : 4
cpu MHz : 200.460259
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : yes
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx
bogomips : 399.77
I think I've some HW problems as everything is too slow lately :(
