Initation of combustion

One month ago i had got the great opportunity of joining the Octality as an intern for the summer time. I've been working mainly in QA and Benchmarking. So far, the benchmarking stuff is my favorite. Really i think it's pretty cool to study how High Performance Web software works. Basically i'm providing tons of data to the main product engineers, so they can have a better comprehension of how their server works under really big work loads.

I've been working on different benchmarking scenarios, a few of which have revealed very interesting stuff.  In the following post entry i will present the result of a few of those, so the rest of the Cherokee community can check them out. I'll also try to come with some conclusion about them when possible. Some of them just confirms that the server works fine under stress - which, at the end of the day, is also crucial for production environments.
