چکیده
The Web has experienced phenomenal growth over the past few years, placing heavy load on Web servers. Today's Web servers also process an increasing number of requests for dynamic pages, making server load even more critical. The performance of Web servers delivering static pages is well-studied and well-understood. However, there has been little analytic or no empirical study of the performance of Web servers delivering dynamic pages. This paper focuses on experimentally measuring and analyzing the performance of the three dynamic Web page generation technologies: CGI, FastCGI and Servlets. In this paper, we present experimental results for Web server performance under CGI, Fast CGI and Servlets. Then, we develop an analytical model and predict Web server performance under some typical dynamic requests. We nd that CGI and FastCGI perform eeectively the same under most low-level benchmarks, while Servlets perform noticeably worse. Our analytic model shows the same deeciency in Servlets performance under typical dynamic Web page requests.
