yesterday I blogged about nginx, tornado and http_load
I finished the day running seige and wanted to share my results.

I got siege with yum install seige
This test was run on a Fedora 16 x86_64 RHEV VM.
Given 4G of RAM and 4 sockets across 4 3Ghz i7 cores

nginx is running at http://localhost/
tornado is running at  http://localhost:8888/

I tested each server with both 50 and 500 concurrent users for a minute at a time.

# siege -d1 -t1M -c50 http://localhost/
Transactions: 5670 hits

# siege -d1 -t1M -c500 http://localhost:8888/
Transactions: 42345 hits

Elapsed time: 59.80 secs
Data transferred: 0.48 MB
Response time: 0.17 secs

Shortest transaction: 0.00

I was initially confused by the concurrency metric, this is from the siege manual:

Concurrency is average number of simultaneous connections, a number which rises as server performance decreases.

So it seems the siege results are consistent with the http_load results.
