Nginx gets best performance on Gentoo or Ubuntu does not scale

[Reinis Rozitis]

Depends on what the person doing the benchmark wanted to archieve as there 
are quite more system settings (which by default in different distributions 
differ) regarding tcp / webserver finetuning rather than a simple 'open file 
limits' (and even there you can see the author having some trouble).

If the topic was to find a distribution which works best without doing 
anything then maybe you can go with it..

Other than that its not very related to nginx performance.



p.s. also sometimes its 'ab' which fails at making high concurent connection 
count and not the webserver.. should use some other tools  (like httperf / 
siege etc)
 to verify the "FAIL"
