WebBench
For fast network throughput, Xserve G5 features dual onboard Gigabit Ethernet con-
trollers, as well as optimized network drivers and a high-performance BSD network
stack in Mac OS X Server. Apple used WebBench from eTesting Labs to demonstrate
the superior web server performance of Xserve G5 based on the number of connec-
tions each server can support.
Xserve G5 easily supports a large number of network connections.With more than
16 WebBench clients, it outperforms the Xeon- and Opteron-based servers, and its
performance advantage increases as clients are added to the network.
Apple performed the NetBench and WebBench tests without the supervision or verification of eTesting Labs,which makes
no representation or warranty of the results.eTesting Labs WebBench version 4.1 was used with the standard test suite
STATIC_WB41.TST,with the threads variable set to 5 and with 28 client computers.For the WebBench test, Xserve G5 ran
Apache 1.3; the IBM systems ran Apache 2.0.
