Web Hosting Lab

This is a light PHP benchmark test. Most of the PHPs on most of the sites are similar and are being executed just as fast as this benchmark script is. The script is being run 12 times, the fastest and the slowest times not being counted. The average time of the remaining 10 runs is counted. Although this script works in this same manner as most of the scripts on the sites, I don't think of it as the principal script for load measurement purposes. This script is very much influenced by the speed of a single CPU, i.e. if a given host has a Xeon 3.7 GHz, single processor server, the results will be very good, whereas with a dual, 4-core Xeon Clovertown 1.6 GHz server the results won't be as good. The total processor output in the first case will be 3.7 GHz, while in the second case it will be 12.8 GHz. It's obvous that the 12.8 GHz server will endure much heavier loads.
