Zeus claims fastest Web server score ever
Rhea world benchmarks, Hercules unchained
Tue Jan 20 2004, 14:25
BRITISH FIRM Zeus Technology claimed its Web Server product has smashed the record for SPECweb99_SSL scores.
The firm said that it had scored 9,060 - which it claims is over twice as fast as its nearest competitor, IBM's Apache implementation.
The benchmark ran on a 16-way HP Integrity RX8620, said Zeus.
The firm said that it has also scored 21,000 with its software running on an IBM Eserver P series 690HPC.
By contrast, said Zeus, the fastest SPECWeb99 score running on MS IIS is only 8,001. It claims no SPECWeb99_SSL scores for IIS have ever been submitted. µ

Here is a benchmark showing them all:

And the source code to make the test (and the charts) is available here:

Result:
1. g-wan
2. lighttpd
3. cherokee (too weak in the high concurrencies)
4. iis
5. nginx
6. apache
As the Zeus license forbids tests...
A picture is worth a thousand words.
