Question
New Droplet under performs on ApacheBench
I’m confused. Can somebody help me shed some light on this.
I created a new droplet and my ApacheBench(marks) aren’t on par with my previous Droplet. It always seems to stall on the last set of requests. I’ve done 400, 500, and 300 – all of them with the same results: stalls on the final 100 set before finishing resulting in a > 7 second total test run… That’s not right.
ab -n 500 -c 100 http://107.170.246.53/
Can somebody help me shed some light as to why?
If it was a Droplet resources, 300 should have worked given 500 stalled after completing 400. This was not the case.
I have a second Droplet, tier two, and it doesn’t exhibit this.
