Weblog:   yum install java? Not so fast...
Subject:   mod_perl speed
Date:   2004-05-22 14:32:10
From:   perrin
Every benchmark I've ever seen (inlcuding ones from Yahoo) shows mod_perl running faster than PHP at equivalent tasks. My own benchmarks of simple servlets doing database selects from Oracle showing mod_perl running faster than Java as well. (Don't believe Resin's benchmark -- their mod_perl code is flawed.) Basic language benchmarks still show that Perl has a significant speed advantage over Python. Nothing against Python -- I'm sure it's fast enough for nearly any practical application -- but your speed claims are just not accurate.

    What I've experienced is that I can run handle more clients using mod_php than mod_perl, and more still using mod_python in cgi or publisher mode, whcih is what I based my comment on (and other personal experience), but I didn't want that to be read as a slam on either, I love perl, php and python.
