Benchmarking Nginx on a prehistoric PIII 500

[Darrin Chandler]

Denis,

Thanks for that :)

On the graph for disabled keepalive it's very odd to see the initial
*increase* for Cherokee and Apache 1.3. Might that be due to the way
child processes are configured? I.e., not enough to start, and not
enough kept on idle? Anyway, those stand out as curious.
