Re: Which scales better? J2EE, PHP, or CGIDEV2?

So I found a case where the Zend server cannot provide equal or better results than a Java server on other hardware?

And now it is about "business work" instead? Oh well.

I don't disagree with Zend providing business value on the IBM i - especially due to the easy save-reload cycle - but I think you may underestimate what is possible elsewhere these days.

Ahh.... now there's the trick is it not? Most of the benchmarks do
not take real business work into account whereas the IBM CPW benchmark
is all about real business load. If scientific workload is what is
what's needed the other benchmarks work well. Real business workload, a
different matter. Unfortuanatly we do not have a good web business
benchmark to use right now. CPW does not really give a good indication
of a web based workload although we can make some inferences from it.

While I don't ordinarily disagree with Paul, in this case I would
agree with Kevin, the language has very little to do with scaleability.
The server (both hardware and software ) has everything to with it.
I'll put up a smaller IBM i/Zend Server against a larger Java server on
any hardware most anytime and get equal or better results. Furthermore
the Zend server is much easier to manage. Advanced configuration is
about the same difficulty on both WebSphere and Zend servers so a toss
up there.

The Jetty 7 java server has reportedly managed 100.000 concurrent comet
connections on a four core x86-server.

I don't know what they_did_ in each connection but I was impressed.
