Benchmark Testing

You can use UnixBench to test your server's benchmark, and compare with other's results.

Run the following commands to make the test:
# wget http://members.dslextreme.com/users/andylee/unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz
# gunzip -dvc unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# cd unixbench-4.1.0-wht
# make
# ./Run


I just ordered a new server from LayeredTech, the configuraion is:
• Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz
• 2 x 80GB IDE Hard Drive
• 1024MB RAM
• Bandwidth: 1000GB
• IP Addresses: 8 (5 usable)
• Private VLAN
• Number Of Servers: 1
• Basic Resource Monitoring
• FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows*
• 100% Self Managed and Dedicated

Here is the benchmark results:
Start Benchmark Run: Thu Mar 24 16:36:50 UTC 2005
4:36PM up 13:40, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
End Benchmark Run: Thu Mar 24 16:48:16 UTC 2005
4:48PM up 13:52, 2 users, load averages: 14.43, 5.50, 2.55

System Call Overhead 114433.5 377500.3 33.0
FINAL SCORE 67.8    

My first server got about 60, similar servers on the above thread got more than 100, I'm very disappointed at the result.
