Create a benchmark comparison between the 5.x and 6.x releases of Drupal. #127

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Task description
Each major Drupal release contains many api changes, new features, and
performance improvements. However it's impossible to know how much these
affect the performance of a Drupal site until a release candidate is available.

For this task, you will need to create* a 5.x Drupal site according to
Dries' recommendations at
http://buytaert.net/drupal-webserver-configurations-compared

Then copy the site, and run the upgrade from 5.x to 6.x so that you have an
equivalent dataset.

You will need then to test common pages generated by Drupal:

The front page with around 30 nodes.
A single node with lots of comments
A search result
The forums index
A taxonomy_term listing deep in the pager like
http://example.com/taxonomy/term/87?page=6

This should included testing with various configurations of drupal's
internal caching systems (page, advanced, block), and css and js aggregation.

To complete the task, you will need to post valid benchmarks to the task
issue, with a summary report of the differences.

@dmitrig01:  Corni has been talking with chx on IRC about this, and it's my
understanding that he was going to redo at least part of these benchmarks given 
chx's
and the other reviewers' suggestions.  Please don't re-open this, as the 
student is
still actively involved in this task, even thought he might not have replied 
here.

@Corni:  Please post your plans for working on this task here and in the issue 
on
drupal.org.  If you don't plan on finishing this then by all means ask that you 
be
removed from the task.  However, if you plan on finishing this, as I suspect 
you do,
please post a note saying such so that there is no confusion.

I was sure I posted yesterday here, but don't know where my post is. I want to 
finish
the issue for sure, and I will redo the benchmarks as fast as possible. Maybe I 
can
do them today and tommorrow and write them up in the weekend, or, at least, I 
will do
them next Saturday (today+9days) :( I hope I get them reviewed that fast ;=)

Hi,
my results:
REMINDER: All bench results are for anonymous users!
Computer Specs:
CPU: Core2Duo 2,24Ghz
RAM: 4GB
rest not really important...
I benched without X, aka ab and apache+mysql running (+ standards like cron...)
what i've done: installed D5.5 properly and did all tasks the status report 
wanted me
to show a green
page ;)
Then i've downloaded devel module and generated the amount of needed things 
Dries
recommended i've enabled all standard modules (which are installed _and_ active 
by
default) and placed them on the frontpage
I also added the forum module (where I added one container with one forum) and
enabled the search module
after i runned cron that many times and I had ~3,200,000 rows in search_index
I gave the anonymous user access to all pages (in the previous benchmark I did 
this
was my fault :()
After all preparations I disabled the devel modules to be able to enable 
aggressive
caching (it looks like not being compatible to it...)
Before benchmarking I set the query_cache_size to 0 ;)
Now, the result of the benchmarks are interesting. In short:
D5>D6. It is always faster for anon's except for serving uncached search 
results.
This applies to the new benchmarks, too!
All benchmarks are attached in one txt, a nice table of them is under
http://groups.drupal.org/node/8274
The Linked table is also attached here :)
