Just installed vB 3.8.6 PL1 test forum on test server to benchmark Litespeed v4.0.19. Only testing the front vB index.php page first.

Results are very much bottlenecked by MariaDB 5.2.4 MySQL server connection unlike standalone test.php or test.txt static file testing already done.

Summary
  • Litespeed again came out on top with least memory usage and serving up to 100,000 requests with 1,000 concurrency with no failed requests.
  • Nginx with php-fpm in TCP form came out in second place but had more failed requests as the concurrency and requests size increased. Update: Seems failed requests due to content length varying so not really failed requests see explanation here.
  • Nginx with php-fpm unix socket form for some reason couldn't even pass >5 concurrency level without php failing with 502 gateway error messages/upstream timeouts.
  • Apache kicked the bucket at 100,000 requests and cpu load was very high as was average memory usage.

:: Jan 28th, 2011: Correction to findings
I have to revise my findings a bit for Nginx. The failed requests seem to be from content length varying between apachebench requests and not due to failure requests related to connections/exceptions errors. Content length varies due to dynamic nature of php pages tested as as long as content length reported by apachebench as Document Length is nearly the same, it still means a successfully served request regardless.

With some help from Litespeed folks, got litespeed's inbuilt cache feature setup to work with vBulletin's boost/varnish plugin - basically just import/install product-boostv1.xml‎ on your vB 3.8.x or vB 4.0.x forums and setup Litespeed cache options in Litespeed admin console and drop in some vB specific .htaccess rewrite code and you're set.

The speed boost for guest visitors is crazy - between >16x to 123x times faster in different apachebench config tests!

Now to retest apachebench with above same settings for requests and concurrency with Litespeed inbuilt cache enabled resulted in Litespeed inbuilt cached tests being up to 721x times faster than Apache, or 91x times faster than Litespeed alone without the inbuilt cache enabled! :eek: Look at the cpu load for cached tests and no php memory usage at all :)

Note: To be able to use Litespeed Inbuilt Cache feature you need >2 cpu Litespeed license. VPS and 1 CPU Licenses don't have the Inbuilt Cache supported.

Torture testing Litespeed Inbuilt cache against vB 3.8.6 PL1 front index.php page with apachebench at:

  • 5000 concurrency level + 1 million requests (virtualized server allocated 1GB memory) - cache timeout was set at 120 seconds but test run lasted 127.45 seconds, so the tail end caught some php load. PHP averaged around 10MB per process.
  • 5000 concurrency level + 1.5 million requests (virtualized server allocated 2GB memory) - cache timeout was set at 480 seconds while test ran only for 163.91 seconds, so well within cache timeout so no PHP usage.

Try the above with apache and only 1-2GB memory :D

Not a single failed request !

5000 concurrency + 1 million requests​
Apachebench = 7,846.05 rps - over 240x times apache's performance handling 100x times the number of requests and 25x times the concurrency

:: Jan 28th, 2011: Correction to findings
I have to revise my findings a bit for Nginx in above tests. The failed requests seem to be from content length varying between apachebench requests and not due to failure requests related to connections/exceptions errors. Content length varies due to dynamic nature of php pages tested as as long as content length reported by apachebench as Document Length is nearly the same, it still means a successfully served request regardless.

However, not sure why litespeed did have any of these errors vBulletin index.php page tests. The reason I came across this is because I have been able to implement same litespeed cache method for use on wordpress as well. However, litespeed apachebench testing wordpress pages results in same failed request due to content length varying between requests. So I guess as long as apachebench Document Length is varying only slightly in size, you can ignore the failed requests if they are due to content length as reality is the php page would have been served.

Example: testing wordpress page non-cached nginx, litespeed and apache with only apachebench testing 2 requests and 1 concurrent all reported failed request due to content/document length

Failed request due to content/document length

Code: 
Failed requests:        1
   (Connect: 0, Length: 1, Exceptions: 0)

Very nice Benchmark.
Still can not make Guest Cache working with VBSEO.

Thanks. Looks like after wordpress + litespeed cache, vB + vBSEO + litespeed cache would be next on my list of things to conquer as alot of the private clients including myself use vBSEO with vB.

I finally managed to get Varnish VCL tuned to work with vBulletin 3.8.6 PL1 as well, so updated the above table to include Apache + Varnish 2.1.5 vB index.php tests to the list as well as update the table column to remove failed requests in the calculation of adjusted rps for nginx.



Looks like when you include mysql backend as a factor in testing vB index.php page, litespeed cache just edges out Apache + Varnish. Unlike, with php based test.php file where Apache + Varnish took the lead - although it seems i hit a litespeed cache memory leak bug in those tests.

Thanks for the nice guide,

i got the cache working, i have a server using haproxy/nginx as load balancer before litespeed webserver.
Code: 
Server	nginx
Date	Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:08:16 GMT
Content-Type	text/html; charset=utf-8
Connection	keep-alive
Content-Encoding	gzip
Vary	Accept-Encoding, User-Agent
X-LiteSpeed-Cache	hit
Content-Length	22072
X-Powered-By	PHP/5.2.14
Cache-Control	private
Pragma	private
X-UA-Compatible	IE=7
but some how some pages show i logged in as someone else account?look like the page i was loading belong to someone else.

Is there something missing?
I am using VBB 3.8.6


Update:

I found the problem, it was the .htaccess i copy from your but forgot to edit according to my server:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzimloggedin=yes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzuserid=
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzpassword=

Thanks
