Python and php benchmark

Hi!

It's been a long time since the last time I wrote a post.

I'm installing a web environment and I'm trying to make it as efficient as possible,

so I've decided to make a benchmark between Php and python

I've tried these two web environments:

Php: default configuration (php5 + Apache)

Python: Cherokee webserver+fcgi+Psyco

Cherokee is a minimalist web server like nginx. I decided to use this web server since I've read

that it is more efficient than apache, according to several benchmarks.

Psyco is a JIT Compiler for python that compiles chunks of code to make it faster when executing.

The benchmark consists of a fuzz of 1000 requests using 50 parallel threads.

This was the result (Y axis:System Load , X axis:Time)

I know that php can be optimized, but this was a simple benchmark that I made to test

my new environment, however it evaluates default php installations.

I hope you begin to port to Python ;D

Let's see how HipHop works

Bye!

Pd: That was the script I used

1. def func():
2. primeNumbers = []
3. output = []
5. for i in xrange(2, 30000):
6. divisible = False
7. for number in primeNumbers:
8. if i % number == 0:
9. divisible = True
10. if divisible == False:
11. primeNumbers.append(i)
12. output.append(str(i))
13. print "".join(output)
15. func()

1. $primeNumbers = array();
2. $output = '';
4. for ($i = 2; $i 30000; $i++) {
5. $divisible = false;
7. foreach ($primeNumbers as $number) {
8. if ($i % $number == 0) {
9. $divisible = true;
10. }
11. }
13. if ($divisible == false) {
14. $primeNumbers[] = $i;
15. $output .= $i;
16. }
17. }
19. echo $output;
