So the two numbers gives a good idea of how important JDBC drivers are to the performance. Cache Same as DB, but the page sets the Expires header 15 seconds in the future. The new version of the benchmark is incomplete. It leaves out several servlet engines. FYI, here's the old data.
All results are in operations per second.
The results are sorted by Hello performance. The server is a 266 Mhz Pentium II running RedHat 6.0 with 64 meg of ram. The client is a 300 Mhz Celeron also running RedHat 6.0 with 32 meg. The two machines are connected with a 100bT ethernet connection. It sends requests, including typical header fields, and retrieves the results.
