hey guys,

i have been building a simple CMS using the Modular Extensions for PHP5 but i stopped when i made a benchmarking using ApacheBenchmark (ab) and found that it only pears 4.4 request/second ..

is that very bad/any ideas how to improve it?

Libraries Enabled : Database
Helpers Enabled : URL , and a custom helper
Models : 1 custom model

PS: i have only 2 db queries

My PC Config:

Ram : 512 mb
Processor : Intel Centrino 1.86
Apache : 2.2
XAMPP

here's the link <i have enabled the profiler> : http://www.omardev.net/ocms/

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question. Please elaborate.

[eluser]omar-303[/eluser]
i am just wondering if the 4.4 request/second is very slow and indicate a proplem in my application or that is normal ?

and if it's wrong what the ways to optimize it ?

btw : the benchmark i done using this values
requests : 1000
conc : 100

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Oh, I see! Yes, that does sound very slow.

However, I am running Debian Etch with a Athlon 2400+ and only 256MB of RAM, and with the same test as you I have only 10.82 requests per second. It sure does sound slow.

I benchmarked google.co.uk. Here are the results:

Bearing in mind that Google have some serious load balancing technology, I think our servers are doing pretty well.

[eluser]omar-303[/eluser]
so around 11 request/second is normal on a shared hosting account?

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
No. My server is not a shared host. It's my own dedicated server at home.
