Comment Re:Performance? RAM usage? (Score 1) 209

How much more RAM does it take for high loads than nginx?

202.6 MiB + 50.1 MiB = 252.7 MiB httpd (190)
940.2 MiB + 831.4 MiB = 1.7 GiB php-cgi (189)

From my own site, doing 1500 hits/sec:

# python ps_mem.py | grep -E "nginx|php"
16.4 MiB + 1.2 MiB = 17.6 MiB nginx (9)
186.4 MiB + 14.7 MiB = 201.1 MiB php5-fpm (44)

For a site hosted on a VM, a 2GB setup would be 8x as expensive as a 256MB setup :-P (I presume we're both hosted on bare metal now, so my setup simply leaves more space for cache; but nginx's slimness did allow me to to stay on a cheap VM until recently)

1 GB RAM vs delay + reading books, code and googling.

If you're already an apache expert and an nginx noob, then sure, stick with what you know; but I found nginx only took a couple of days to grok, and now that I know both, nginx is faster and easier to administer

As much as I love bashing the TSA, could we please get some statistics to back this up first, and then deal with it properly rather than just whining? I want to get the problem solved, but "I feel like some crime has been committed against me" is even weaker than the standard RIAA logic...

I feel that the default desktop of a distro is the one that gets the lion's share of the TLC

From the distro, sure; but isn't most work on all desktops done by the upstreams? Enlightenment isn't officially supported by any distro AFAIK, and it runs wonderfully just having the official E team working on it and no interference :P

I still opine that the rapidly changing selection of APIs, libraries, ...

I've had the stand-alone flash player installed in my home directory for a while, moving with me across distros and hardware -- it was installed on 32-bit debian in 2006, and it's still working on my 64-bit ubuntu 11.10 install today.</anecdote>
