Is Litespeed faster than Apache?
Is Litespeed faster than Apache?
I see many people saying Litespeed is faster than Apache, however have you ever thought why does a business with millions of dollars in transaction per month depend on Apache instead of Litespeed? Do they want to save the few bucks in the cost of the license?
After doing a lot of research we have come to a conclusion that Litespeed causes more load on the hard disk on a highly loaded server. Our testing server was a 1 X L5410 server with processor capacity of 4 X 2.33GHz with cPanel. The box had 6 gigs of RAM. While using Litespeed the RAM usage was nearly 25-27% most of the times. While it was on Apache with our custom settings the RAM usage was between 17% and 57%, the average been around 24% with a very rare rise up to above 50%. Coming to the CPU usage, it has been found that Litespeed causes much more load on the processor in delivering many PHP pages. Though the Litespeed performed slighlty better on normal static pages however Apache was much better at delivering the dynamic sites.
Webserver Details:
Apache 2.2.11 with our custom settings
Litespeed 4 Ent
