What backend do you use ?
The backend which was used is Mongrel latest stable.
Can Mongrel compress by itself ?
There may be follwoing reasons:
1) by default nginx compresses 1.1 requests only, you may set:
gzip_http_version 1.0
if ab2 sends 1.0 requests then nginx pass them to backend and
backend compresses them.
We will check this.
2) how many CPUs and hao many worker_processes ?
#CPUs i will ask.
worker_processes 10
In this case nginx can run on several CPUs as Apache does.
3) instead of "proxy_buffering off" better use
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
We will check this.
What about the options in the source?
gzip_no_buffer?
gzip_window?
gzip_hash?
By default nginx fills a whole one of the "gzip_buffers" before to send
response to client. The "gzip_no_buffer" disables that.
The "gzip_window" and "gzip_hash" set gzippig parameters, the default
values are the same as in Apache. You can decrease them to decrease
memory footprint, but the compression level would also decreased.
