Redmine Bug #2518 (New): Loss of performance (x2)https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/25182013-10-07T06:35:56ZPierre2013
<p>We have used weighttp over the years since 2011, in thousands of benchmarks for many Web servers.</p>
<p>We rely on weighttp to detect and correct problems so we value it enormously.</p>
<p>Recently, I have installed the latest version of weighttp on a new machine and to my dismay it was much slower than on an older machine with the same specs.</p>
<p>I have copied the old weighttp on the new machine (and vice-versa) without any change in the results, reaching the conclusion that weighttp was not the problem.</p>
<p>The problem is rather likely to come from the <strong>libev</strong> dependency.</p>
<p>This is raising the question of weighttp's relevance if libev goes nuts (which it seems to have done since 2011).</p>
<p>I know it will be a pain to cut the dependency with libev but this may be the price to pay for weighttp to stay relevant.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Pierre.</p>
