Thanks to techempower for putting this together. It's fantastic for me as the author of Phreeze to see how my framework stacks up, I've always been curious.

One strange thing is that Phreeze rocks on the multi-query test on the EC2 instance but on dedicated hardware does poorly. Would anyone have a clue why that would be? At the PHP level I have to admit I don't really factor in performance tuning for specific hardware - I was very surprised to see such a difference. I almost suspect the Nginx setup or something in the include path searching for too many files on one platform but not the other. Does anybody have any clues on where to look for something like that without having access to the testing hardware?

Hi jakejake, thanks for the kind words and for contributing your Phreeze test. It's looking real good, and I hope to have at least language color-coding in the next round so you can more easily see how it compares to your PHP peers.

As for your question, I'm not certain why the physical hardware turned in a lower score than EC2. That suggests a configuration problem since we know the physical hardware is in fact quite a bit higher-performance. Pat (pfalls) may be able to find some time to help you diagnose it further.

Have you had a chance to benchmark Phreeze on some of your own hardware to fine-tune its configuration?

Thanks so much for the reply. I haven't been able to get the full suite running where it creates the environment and everything via the setup scripts - I just have tried to reproduce the Nginx environment and run tests manually. But I really would like to duplicate the whole scaffolding so I can see what may be going on. I have a crushing deadline in two weeks, then after that I'm going to devote some time to getting the full thing running.

Color coding per language would be fantastic too!
