I have seem at least 10 benchmarks showing the same. Do your own research and try to be a little less biased. Latest apache does the same as nginx now. Event driven model with multiple connections handled by a single thread. That is as simple as that and it shouldn't be too hard to understand that using the same techniques, apache will indeed be as fast.

See a more detailed benchmark here: (search for nginx for comparison)

> both in ease of administration and more importantly, in performance (why is Apache still spawning processes for every request that comes in..

Apache has had thread model (no need to fork new processes) and EVEN nginx like event model, with fewer/threads than connections for quite a while. Update your info. We run latest IIS and apache on production servers and IIS seems to do pretty well but saying the things you say about apache isn't fair and false in some cases.

In fact, we run instances of apache with event model (max 75 threads, max 4096 connections, keep alive 5 seconds) as a caching reverse proxy and WAF (mod_security) in front of IIS application servers and others. Centralized WAF configuration for all applications and caching so all static content requests rarely hit the application servers.

App server behind the caching reverse-proxy get 2 to 15 work threads, keepalive rarely on, the config is fine tuned with the help of benchmarks and yes, some backend apps are faster with only 2 workers and often degrade with more than 15.

This is a typical performance setup.

The numbers match what you would like to see.

I don't follow your post.

Given the post you replied to, you must mean:
LTO6 is â40/6TB compressed.
4TB hdd is â130.
2TB hdd is â80.
