Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to "Oh my goodness! AOLserver 3.0 is one seriously fast beast."

I am kind of suspicious about benchmarks running on different machines... Also, you seem to be a NT-type of person (as shown by you having the latest SP from Microsoft), so you probably did not tune your Red Hat install as carefully (if any) as your NT box.

For example, I can compile a Linux kernel to be much more optimized than the default that comes with Red Hat. Any serious Linux user knows that.

I doubt you'll get better results with ColdFusion, since AFAIK, it's process-based and forking a backend for each request.

Note that these are strictly technical considerations.
