web server optimization question

[jari p. <jar...@ho...>]

First thank you for an excellent tool!

slightly OT question:

My main purpose for using  curl-load is to load a device (stateful fw)=20
beetween clients and server.

The question: how to optimize Apache and curl-load query parameters=20
to achieve  max in terms of CAPS when retrieving small files from one httpd=
  server.

Now with 1000 curl clients to Apache server I can  get max 1200-1300 CAPS.
in this test all clients are fetching the same 1k file. curl load config is=
 based on sample
10K example, but with 1000 clients.

  -how to optimize Apache (or would Lighthttpd be better ?)
  - what curl-load client options could be adjusted one increase connection=
 rate?
=20


(again for  this particular test I want to maximaze Connections/sec, and no=
t necessary
 throughput or concurrent connections )
