So, after far too long, I''m running successful tests of an
IOWA/Mongrel integration.
This is using Mongrel 0.3.13.3.
I created an app that is the same as the one tested here:
http://blog.kovyrin.net/2006/08/28/ruby-performance-results/
Just running a single mongrel on an AMD Athlon (2 Ghz) dual processor
system with a Linux 2.4 kernel and Ruby 1.8.4 I get, with a
concurrency of 1, around 345 requests per second. Higher
concurrencies remain manageable, though, which is nice to see. I get
around 270/second with a concurrency of 100, for instance.
This is reasonably fast. For comparison, going through Apache 2 with
a mod_ruby handler, I get 240/second with a concurrency of 1, and it
peaks at around 370/second with a concurrency of 3 before going down.
Apache was floundering with a concurrency of 100 so I aborted that
test. This is running in prefork mode, BTW.
So....not bad at all!
