From: "DEBAUN, STEVE [AG-Contractor/2400]" Date: 2006-05-18T08:55:01+09:00 Subject: Re: bm + net/http sanity check Sorry, I should have clarified; I'm benchmarking the same site (server, content, etc) on two different hosts. I suspect the delta is due to a different environment (one is in a VM, the other is actual iron). I expected the GET to be greater than the ping, but I did not expect the GET delta to be 6x that of the ping delta. I'm just checking with y'all to make sure Net::HTTP isn't doing something screwy that could mess up my benchmarks.

This does not jive with what I'm expecting, at all. Maybe consider the relative delta. The GET request should take quite a bit longer than an ICMP echo, even if you don't take the fact that one is running in a benchmark framework of a scripting language and the other is probably an OS executable. These are different sites at different locations you're benchmarking, correct? Maybe different technologies were used, one is serving static pages, the other has really screwy dynamic pages with an Access backend... Also, doesn't `.get` actually download the content? Maybe the one page is way bigger than the other? -tim This e-mail message may contain privileged and/or confidential information, and is intended to be received only by persons entitled to receive such information.
