eAccelerator benchmarks

some blogs / sites about eAccelerator:

• Benchmarking PHP accelerators
• PHP accelerators
• Five opcode caches compared
• Drupal with APC vs eAccelerator

More web testing tools:

• funkload: creating Python classes to test websites; interesting definition of difference between several tests:

• Functional testing of web projects, and thus regression testing as well

• Performance testing: by loading the web application and monitoring your servers it helps you to pinpoint bottlenecks, giving a detailed report of performance measurement

• Load testing tool to expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, like volume testing or longevity testing. Stress testing tool to overwhelm the web application resources and test the application recoverability

• Writing web agents by scripting any web repetitive task, like checking if a site is alive

• httperf: http performance tester
• mysqltuner: mySQL tuner scripts -> supercool, use to optimize mysql installs on servers
• openload: load tester
• varnish: http accelerator
