We have recently run some performance benchmarks comparing Resin 4.0.29 versus NginX 1.2.0.


Contents

Benchmark tools

The benchmark tests used the following tools:

  • httperf
  • AutoBench

httperf

httperf is tool produced by HP for measuring web server performance. The httperf tool supports HTTP/1.1 keepalives and SSL protocols.


AutoBench

Autobench is a tool for automating the process of performing a comparative benchmark test against two a web servers. Autobench uses httperf. Autobench runs httperf against each host. AutoBench increases the number of requests per seconds on each iteration. AutoBench delivers output in a format that can be easily consumed by spreadsheet tools. AutoBench has a mode where it can drive multiple clients against a set of servers to minimize the possibility of testing your client throughput instead of server throughput. The command autobenchd is used to run a daemon on client machines. The autobench_admin command drives many clients to run test at same time by communicating with autobenchd.

Setup Overview

Configuration

The only change that was made was the worker_processes were set to 8 for NginX to improve throughput.
