CMSity vs WordPress

Tags: Performance

Since I am performance freak I just want to drop some benchmarks I have recently did to CMSity 1.0, WordPress 3.6.x and Pligg 1.0 RC4 (used for one of my deployments) on my server.

It seems that CMSity is at least 5x faster than WordPress. Those results are underrated since I used my own WP installation having 3 users and 250 entries, and ALLPlayer's CMSity installation backup having ~8'000 users and 2'000 entries.

My testing server is RPS from OVH running:

PHP 5.2.x with Suhosin-Patch (cgi-fcgi)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.1.32, Copyright (c) 2002-2007, by ionCube Ltd.
    
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 220 @ 1.20GHz, 512MB RAM, single PHP FastCGI process @ lighttpd/1.4.x

Used /usr/sbin/ab -n 100 http://example.com/ where example.com lays on localhost. Here are the results:

WordPress blog (nanoANT.com)

http://www.nanoant.com/

Users: 3, Entries: 250, Per page: 10

Requests per second: 3.06 [#/sec] (mean)

Time per request:       326.371 [ms] (mean)

CMSity main page + 3 blog entries (ALLPlayer)

http://www.allplayer.com/pl mirrored and run at my local server

Users: 8513, Entries: 2373, Per page: 3

Requests per second: 14.69 [#/sec] (mean)

Time per request:       68.075 [ms] (mean)

CMSity blog (ALLPlayer)

http://www.allplayer.com/pl/blog mirrored and run at my local server

As above + Entries per page: 10

Requests per second: 8.66 [#/sec] (mean)

Time per request:      115.513 [ms] (mean)

Also benchmarked some Pligg installation I deployed at ARTTuba.com, having functionality that could be implemented on CMSity too in theory.

Pligg, Digg clone (ARTTuba.com)

http://www.arttuba.com/ mirrored and run at my local server

Users: 21 Entries: 59 Per page: 10

Requests per second: 2.69 [#/sec] (mean)

Time per request:      366.712 [ms] (mean)

Conclusion

I believe CMSity is really fast piece of PHP code, however it is gaining the momentum slowly. I hope someone else can make more objective review of my software that will prove figures above
