I wonder how various web servers perform on a VAX?
Obvious ones to test would be apache (1,2.2 2.4), nginx, thttpd,
bozohttpd (those are just the ones I've used myself), lighttpd. yaws
and mono-xsp could be interesting is erlang and mono compile :)
A simple static test and maybe php with fastcgi for a start.
I'd probably just use apachebench from a fast local x86 box.
Does anyone else have suggestions as to web servers or different tests
that might be interesting?
Retrocomputing with a VAMP stack: VAX, Apache,
MySQL & PHP
About 10 years ago a friend run a web server on a MicroVAX 2000 to
serve his personal homepage. He netbooted the the NetBSD kernel for the
MV2k and mounted / from a local SCSI disk connected to the "tape port".
Though, he used static pages and thttpd. No AMP bloat.
