LiteSpeed Slower than Apache!!

#1
My websites appear to load faster in Apache than they do on LiteSpeed, I don't know why. Here are my server spec's.

Please note, both default LiteSpeed config, and default Apache Config.
I'm also using the 8 core LiteSpeed license.

My Server Spec:

Linux host.server.com 2.6.18-238.el5PAE #1 SMP Thu Jan 13 17:10:20 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Processor: 8 Core - E5405 @ 2.00 GHZ
RAM: 12GB DDR3


If I wget my website when running Apache it downloads in 0.01s
If I wget my website when running LiteSpeed it downloads in 0.07s



My websites load faster on Apache compared to LiteSpeed in my web browser. (Yes I clear Cache each time)

What could be causing this problem? Or is Apache just better? I'm paying a lot for a LiteSpeed license should I just revert back? My server never comes under that much load it only ever serves about 10 wordpress websites that would be lucky to use 3GB bandwidth in a month.

I've tuned systems with WP blogs under 100k alexa, forums, download sites saturating multiple 1gbps systems, etc for over 5 years.

Drop me a pm er email with your sites/mysqladmin status output/top output and ill let ya know. I also can performance tune the scripts but most people hire me for an initial tune and some opt for extended tune where I make changes over the course of a few days watching how it runs.

And no I won't break your pocket. If you look through ssh history and what not you can teach yourself the values and apply them later.

I do mysql, php, lsws, lighttpd, httpd, and OS tuning. ;)
