some phpng benchmarks

Hi! I've recently succeeded in running SugarCRM (if you don't know what it is, it is a big app, lots of code, lots of memory used, lots of db queries, etc.) on phpng and did some benchmarks, and I was asked to share the results with everybody. So here it goes: Benchmark setup: 1. lighttpd with fcgi driver 2. Single process PHP: sapi/cgi/php-cgi -b 9999 3. ab as benchmark driver, like: ab -k -c 1 -n 100 -C 'PHPSESSID=223876233264873232523' 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/sugar674u/index.php?module=Accounts&action=index&ajax_load=1' 4. SugarCRM 6.7.4 5. opcache and php config as described in wiki here: https://wiki.php.net/phpng Benchmark 1: DetailView on Sugar. This view has a lot of data and SQL queries. Results: MASTER: ------- Total transferred: 21022400 bytes HTML transferred: 20957000 bytes Requests per second: 3.51 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 284.997 [ms] (mean) Transfer rate: 720.32 [Kbytes/sec] received PHPNG: ----- Total transferred: 21022400 bytes HTML transferred: 20957000 bytes Requests per second: 4.70 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 212.929 [ms] (mean) Transfer rate: 964.12 [Kbytes/sec] received Benchmark 2: ListView on Sugar. This view is smaller since it has only one data set (list of records) Results: MASTER: ------ Total transferred: 12386000 bytes HTML transferred: 12320600 bytes Requests per second: 8.64 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 115.692 [ms] (mean) Transfer rate: 1045.45 [Kbytes/sec] received PHPNG: ----- Total transferred: 12386000 bytes HTML transferred: 12320600 bytes Requests per second: 12.03 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 83.153 [ms] (mean) Transfer rate: 1454.55 [Kbytes/sec] received So, we have 25-30% improvement, which definitely sounds very good. Of course, these benchmarks are single-thread no-load benchmarks on single Will also look a bit later into seeing how it behaves memory-wise (it uses a lot of memory usually so may be interesting to see what happens there) and how latest version (which has shorter and leaner requests) behaves. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
