[Pylets-devel] Re: about pylet

[Ben <be...@me...>]

sorry i'm on vacation atm so can't give you detailed responses.

please subscribe / post your msgs to the mailing list!

the performance testing i did was very limited.  i was testing how
fast the dispatching / caching framework was.  so i tested very small
pages with tons of hits: this distinguishes between pure throughput
and the dispatching time.  it was within 1.5x the apache times.  i can
publish better numbers when i get back.  the framework is changing bit
by bit, and also i use freebsd, whereas most people seem to use linux
(prefork vs. worker mpm.)  thus i'm a little concerned about
publishing stats.  but i'll try to run some better tests soon.

btw i'm thinking of changing my dispatch model to a shared
finite-state automata, which i think should be equally fast and a bit
more flexible.  but i have to think about it for a bit first.

mod_python sessions are only in 3.1.3 which are only compatible with
apache 2.0.+.  they are thread safe.  actually my code for the shared
cache (which uses sleepycat) could be substituted for a perhaps modest
performance gain.

take care, B

ps the questions are welcome, not annoying!
