[asterisk-users] Benchmarking AGI performance in C, PHP, and Perl

[Danny Nicholas]

Let's make this a "Spider-man" contest.  The No-prize will be the
satisfaction of seeing how it actually works.  Write stevestest.agi in Perl,
PHP and C.  The program must load the AGI variables, do a MYSQL QUERY and a
MYSQL INSERT.  Post your source and results using this methodology:
time for i in `seq 1000`; do ./stevestest.out ; done - C
time for i in `seq 1000`; do php stevesetest.php '; done - PHP
time for i in `seq 1000`; do perl stevestest.pl ; done

Any takers?

It would be interesting to see the same types of tests run against fast-agi
- personally if I write an agi that will be called 1000 times I'm going to
leave it running and have network requests against it rather than starting
and stopping every time.

Interesting tests nonetheless - I would have been pretty concerned if
straight C wasn't faster :-)

Mind if I post it to the Daily Asterisk News?
