Re: FC4 test (x86_64) poor performance
ok, here is the complete details:
Athlon64 3000+ (it's +20Mhz overclocked on the bus, i.e. running on
220Mhz x 9 - roughly on par with Athlon64 3200+).
NForce Ultra (MB: tyan k8e) with 1Gig.
php 5.0.4 + 1.3.33 statically compiled with -O3 -msse3 -m3dnow
-march=athlon64 -mcpu=athlon64; (can't recall if I did unroll loops
and omit frame pointer)
no extra switches or additional modules for configure.
the test.php script looked like
<?php
phpinfo();
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
?>
then tested with
/usr/local/apache/bin/ab -c 50 -n 20000 http://localhost/test.php
FC4 x86_64, kernel is 2.6.11-1.1363_FC4 - the RPS is 730.
FC3 x86_64, latests kernel - same results.
FC3 i386, latests kernel - 570 RPS.
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE (x86_64, stock kernel) - 670 RPS
same hardware in all tests, same optimization switches during compilation.

Great! However, don't tease :-) I'm sure I'm not the only person
curious what RPS you now achieve :-)
