Cherokee web server vs Apache httpd web server | Craig Strong.
Although I was impressed so far, the remaining challenge that Cherokee must live up to for me is it’s speed advantages. In the spirit of keeping things simple and to get a loose overview on performance advantages I thought I’d simply use ‘Zend Controller’ which is bundled with ‘Zend Server CE‘ to test how many requests per second both Apache and Cherokee could handle in turn upon my humble local virtual machine. From these tests I obtained the following results :
Apache Web Server Results
Apache requests per second on local VM
Cherokee Web Server Results
