Speed of new server..

So, Leon wanted some figures on how much faster the new server (given to us by the BBC) was compared to the hardware we had been running it on... before we made the switch over.

OLD:
ab -n 100 -c 3 'http://www.mightyv.com/search?pre=whats_on_now&service_type=tv'
Time taken for tests: 48.602704 seconds
Requests per second: 2.06 [#/sec] (mean)
100% 9114 (longest request - ms)

NEW:
ab -n 100 -c 3 'http://new.mightyv.com/search?pre=whats_on_now&service_type=tv'
Time taken for tests: 2.982551 seconds
Requests per second: 33.53 [#/sec] (mean)
100% 245 (longest request - ms)

Something a bit more complex:
OLD - NOTICE THIS IS 10/2, not 100/3 - I gave up on 100/3 after 10 mins!:
ab -n 10 -c 2 'http://www.mightyv.com/feed/schedule//json'
Time taken for tests: 66.423677 seconds
Requests per second: 0.15 [#/sec] (mean)
100% 26483 (longest request)

NEW:
ab -n 100 -c 3 'http://new.mightyv.com/feed/schedule//json'
Time taken for tests: 65.819925 seconds
Requests per second: 1.52 [#/sec] (mean)
100% 2016 (longest request - ms)

General conclusion... new server... to coin a phrase... "Kicks ass",
now to actually switch over to using it!
