1.1 Performance
</H1>
<P>
One of the main advantages of mod_python is the increase in
performance over traditional CGI. Below are results of a very crude
test. The test was done on a 1.2GHz Pentium machine running Red Hat
Linux
7.3. <em class="citetitle"><a
href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/programs/ab.html"
title="Ab"
>Ab</a></em>
was used to poll 4 kinds of scripts, all of which imported the
standard cgi module (because this is how a typical Python cgi script
begins), then output a single word "<tt class="samp">Hello!</tt>". The results are
based on 10000 requests with concurrency of 1.
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
Standard CGI: 23 requests/s
Mod_python cgihandler: 385 requests/s
Mod_python publisher: 476 requests/s
Mod_python handler: 1203 requests/s
