Not so good. I don’t know about supercache, but APC was used.

Hello Vito,

My benchmarks were run on a LAN. If you are testing from home to your webserver then you will not get an accurate result because you will be limited by the speed of your internet connection.

Running a benchmark from home to a webserver over the internet would not be recommended as the results would not be accurate!

Oops…. the numbers are in fact much lower, at around 2 requests/sec!
(I had made a mistaken with the previous tests)
What can this depend on? How can I improve things and what shall I expect instead?
Thanks!

Those numbers are impressive, but if I understood rightly you ran te bench from another PC in the same LAN, correct?
With eAccelerator together WP Super Cache Plus (on WP 2.7.1), I can’t go over 37-38 requests per second, running the bench from my pc at home (so not in the same LAN).
Are these numbers OK or should I expect better figures?
Thanks in advance

I took a quick look at Hyper Cache. It has a few problems and doesn’t have all the features of supercache.
Both plugins use the same method of capturing the current page, but there’s an obscure bug in WordPress that isn’t really fixable in that if query_posts() is used more than once in a theme then the 404 status is lost. I fixed that a while back in my plugin.
It only seems to cache for anonymous users, not logged in or users who left a comment. That’s fine though because 99% of your users will be anonymous, mostly.
It doesn’t do any file locking either, although I’m considering removing the file locking from supercache, or making it optional because it screws up on some hosts.

It does however support mobile user agents which is great, and I’ll probably copy that code into supercache (and credit Hyper Cache of course) soonish so at least in “half on” mode it’ll work properly with mobile phones.

I do like how it’s written though. It’s much neater than supercache, and more encouragement for me to reorganise my plugin!
