vqServer: Performance
-
The performance of vqServer is indistinguishable from that of native-code
web servers when used with a Just In Time Java compiler.
-
Java servlets, supported by vqServer, are a fast and resource-efficient
alternative to CGI scripts and proprietary server APIs.
-
vqServer supports Java servlets in the most efficient way possible
(some other servers require additional resource-hungry processes to support
servlets).
-
vqServer supports some functions internally (and therefore efficiently)
which would require CGI scripts or server extensions in other environments
(for example redirection , user self-registration and custom login pages).
Improving performance
The following measures will improve vqServer's performance. However
the effect of many of theses measures will be imperceptible in most situations
and some may be impractical.
-
Install and configure a Just-in-Time Java compiler (and/or any other
Java performance-enhancing measures supported by your computer and operating
system) before starting vqServer. A Just-in-Time compiler is included
with version 1.1.6 of JavaSoft's runtime interpreter for Windows.
-
Stop or close all other applications and utilities while vqServer
is running.
-
Make the file cache as large as possible without causing disk thrashing (you
will need to experiment with vqServer's system settings to
do this).
-
Gradually increase the minimum threads and maximum threads
settings for the main web server until vqServer stops getting
more responsive.
-
Disable logging unless required. This also saves disk space.
-
Disable the autosave feature.
-
Use as few servers as possible. Don't create additional servers unless it's
really necessary.
-
Switch off unused servers. For example, if you have permanent access to the
computer on which vqServer is running, switch off the administration
server from the vqServer console when you're not using it (this is
also a security measure).
-
Disable the console's
connections display.
-
Use as few aliases, users, access control lists and MIME types as possible
(the effect of this measure on performance is so small that it's hard to
measure).
