Witham" <wookie@osdlab.org>, David_J_Morse@Dell.com Dear All, I'd like to announce the first release of X15 Alpha 1, a _user space_ web server that is as fast as TUX. On my Dell 4400 with 2G of RAM and 2 933MHz PIII and NetGear 2Gbit NICs I achieve about 2500 SpecWeb99 connections, with both X15 and TUX (actually X15 is sligtly faster, some 20 connections more... ;) Given the limitations of my experimental setup I'd like to ask if some of you could help me testing my software on some higher end machines. I'm interested to see what happens on 4-8 processors in terms of scalability etc. You can download X15 Alpha 1 from here: http://www.chromium.com/X15-Alpha-1.tgz The the README file in the tarball should contain sufficient information to run the thing, I also included a support module for running the SpecWeb benchmark.
