What I mean is, when I send requests directly to the webserver, I get
about 3.5K transactions per second (per server). But when I add the proxy
to forward all requests to the webserver, I get about 1.7K transactions
per second. I expect some drop in performance, but this seems a little too
much. If you have any insights about something I'm probably missing, I'll
be glad to try it out.
Thanks,

Post by Sumeet SinghPost by Pavan BalajiNo. I meant apache 2.0 was giving about 1.5 times better performance :-).
Sorry about the confusion.
Thanks.
Btw, can you expand on the following ?
"Anyways, the proxy forwarding is still giving terrible performance
(as compared to running it just as a webserver) -- about 2-2.5 times
worse."

Post by Sumeet SinghPost by Pavan BalajiWe had tried this sometime back, and apache 2.0 was giving about 1.5 times
the performance. But I didn't do any fine tuning stuff, so am not sure how
reliable these numbers are. Anyways, the proxy forwarding is still giving
terrible performance (as compared to running it just as a webserver) --
about 2-2.5 times worse.
Do you mean to say that when run as a proxy, apache 2.0 with worker-mpm
does worse than apache 1.3 ? That's surprising, because none of the
docs/articles that I have read have pointed out such a severe shortage
in performance (p.s. I am not saying that your results were wrong).

Post by Sumeet SinghHas anybody compared the performance apache 1.3.x running as a proxy
server (using mod_proxy) against apache 2.0 (using worker-mpm) ?
