Chamas consulting put together a set of Web Application benchmarks on Apache, comparing the throughput and memory usage of a ‘Hello World’ application written in various frameworks (mod_perl, PHP, JSP, XSLT, custom Apache Modules).
As you’d expect, the custom Apache API modules were the top performers, but mod_perl appeared to outdo mod_php, in both throughput and memory use.
In XSLT, a JSP page under the Resin container blew away a Tomcat/Cocoon arrangement. However, the XSLT tests did not cache compiled stylesheets.
This page will be useful in all the message board fights which Michael Radwin’s talk inspires.
