Bruce Morrison	Thursday 14 June 2007 2:09:48 am Hi Kim Wow, that's a massive increase. I take it that it's against apache? Looking forward to some more information on this.

Xavier Dutoit	Thursday 14 June 2007 7:34:38 am Hi, I'm afraid to report that although I didn't run a proper benchmark, the difference wasn't that blowing. I can run your bench on my machine once you've sent me the details. X+ http://www.sydesy.com

zurgutt -	Wednesday 25 July 2007 5:25:01 am Useful comparision, however it would be even very much more useful if you gave exact configuration details that you used, this includes complete settings for mysql, apache, php and apc. The ez performance is surely much more influenced by good setup of these components than by just type of http server used. It would make an excellent example to follow by others and additionally fine-tune. At least for me, I have very similarly specced hardware but get poorer performance, so something must be off somewhere, more details on your setup would be very much appreciated! Great work!

André R.	Wednesday 25 July 2007 7:27:56 am > Some articles are coming. When ? I'm still waiting :) And if you really want to show Lighty from it's best side you should also do a bench on static cache setup! eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Kim Johansen	Tuesday 31 July 2007 6:13:12 am Hi André, It will be available in the end of August. I'm Soon done with the benchmarks, with interesting results:) I have not notified any issues on the functionality on Exponential when using lighttpd as webserver so far.

Xavier Dutoit	Monday 06 August 2007 9:19:43 am Hi, As for using the static cache, I couldn't make it work without having to use mod_magnet, and learning it is on my list ;) On that topic, Paul+Kristof have a nice hack who sets a cookie upon authentication and so you can serve static cache to anonymous and the cusotmised php content for the others.

Kristof Coomans	Friday 10 August 2007 12:46:39 am I've seen a couple of topics on Lighttpd now on the forum, maybe it would be nice to have a page on eZpedia about the setup? ;) By the way, the hack Xavier is talking about is listed under the forum topics here: http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/static_content_cache independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Björn X	Friday 10 August 2007 5:00:29 am @Xavier Hi do you have any status if this hack/patch goes into the core? We might need it too. It is a very usefull one.
