Re: REPRASED: Supported platforms comparison

Linux/Apache is the best bet. You might gain a few cycles from fancier hardware -- But Linux/Apache is by far the most used and therefore tested and therefore stable. Is it worth risking meltdown for a 5% performance gain? Solve performance with good design and clustering. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?

I have found a lot of places with benchmarks of PHP accessing different databases on the same server/os pair, (PHP + Oracle = X queries/second, PHP + MySQL = Y queries/sec, etc...), but that's not what I was looking for. Maybe I shoud have phrased the original question like this: 1) assume you prepare one, heavy, HTML/PHP page (any combination of includes, SQL stuff, math calculation, on the fly graphics, whatever). 2) Install it on as many as possible OS/WWW server combinations, **always on the same hardware and PHP version** 3) which OS/server pair will serve the more hits per second, i.e. make PHP perform better? Did anybody ever do this? Could anybody make an educated guess about what the winner would be, and for which reasons?
