Re: CGI output performance

Did you check how using sendfile() instead of write() effects this benchmark? Andi At 10:22 AM 5/19/2001 +0200, Sascha Schumann wrote:

    Hi,

    while looking at the strace output of readfile() in a CGI
    context, I noticed that the CGI code (a) uses stdio and (b)
    that it only outputs chunks with a maximum size of 16KB.

    The effect is clearly visible (reproducible, both tests were
    run with a warmed-up cache):

    $ time ./php-mmap-fwrite ./script >/dev/null
    2.75user 0.47system 0:03.22elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

    $ time ./php-mmap-write ./script >/dev/null
    0.03user 0.01system 0:00.04elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (284major+64minor)pagefaults 0swaps

    E.g. using write() is about 80 times faster on Linux than the
    limited fwrite() version.

    fwrite() was probably chosen because it is a standardized
    function and is expected to work everywhere.  So, what we
    would need to do is to add a check whether write() works on
    the system before using it.

    Are there any objections to such a change?
