Date: 25 Nov 1996 12:46:51 -0600 Organization: Mississippi State University Lines: 16 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <aak2.848946036@Isis.MsState.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: isis.msstate.edu X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #2 (NOV) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix:22346 comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc:6180 comp.unix.solaris:90328 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:31531 We have just setup a test Pentium PRO 200 server running Solaris X86 2.5.1 (all latest patches applied) and got Stronghold secure server (Apache with SSL patches) and tried to run some benchmarks. We were very excited about the new server and were thinking that it was going to beat the pants off of our Netscape 1.2 on FreeBSD 2.1 Pent 90 combo. Imagine our surprise when we found out that Netscape is roughly 6 times faster. I am not sure what to blame, the Solaris OS or Apache or Stronghold. Something is not right somewhere and I am not sure how to pin it down. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. Atif Khan aak2@ra.msstate.edu
