Benchmarking WAMP Apache Versions against Visual Studio 2008 Apache Compile

The benchmarks are based off the tests used for the LiteSpeed Performance Comparison. I use the plain HTML and the PHP ones.

Machine Specs

  • Windows XP
  • 3.45 GB RAM
  • 2.0 Ghz Intel

WAMP Apache 2.2

  1. HTML: 692.12 requests per second
  2. PHP: 164.06

WAMP Apache 2.0.58

  1. HTML: 698.83 requests per second
  2. PHP: 235.50

Apache 2.2.9

Compiled with Visual Studio 2008. PHP used the Filter module

  1. HTML: 770.03 requests per second
  2. PHP: 268.50

Conclusions

As you can see, the build from the Visual Studio 2008 could handle almost 100 more requests per second. It was also surprising at how fast Apache 2.0.58 was compared to 2.2.
