I just installed apache 1.3.12 to do some basic tests.
The configuration is the following:
1/ Apache - compiled using gcc2.95.2
1.3.12, bare configuration, with just two modification:
Port 8000, and ContentDigest on, to give the Content-MD5
header.
HEAD /Distrib/jigsaw_2.0.4.zip HTTP/1.1
Host: tarantula.inria.fr:8000
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

2/ Jigsaw 2.1.0
Running using jdk1.2.2_05.
The configuration is not fair for Jigsaw, it has virtual hosts
3 servers running (including one experimental 2.1 cache)...

Server: Jigsaw/2.1.0
The test client is ptester, from the phttpd distribution, still 1.0 but
the test is not about HTTP/1.0 / 1.1 but about caching meta information ;)
So, we are asking as many time as possible the /Distrib/jigsaw_2.0.4.zip
file, the test runs for 2 minutes, with 5 concurrent clients.
Here are the results:

Of course the test was run on the same machine as bandwidth was a
limitation (still 10Bt).
Why is Apache so slow? because it computes for every request the
content-md5 of the file before sending the reply.
It is just a proof that you can adapt easily a bench to be good to one
particular server (Hey, Jigsaw is 5 time faster than Apache! ;) ).
