nginx latency/performance issues

[eFX News Development]

Hello! Thanks for your response. I'm using apache bench for the tests, simply hitting the same static javascript file (no php). I was thinking since I'm using the same location and as long as the tests are repeatable, using remote testing would be ok and give more realistic results.

Both apache and nginx are on the same machine, just using different IP aliases so I can connect to both via port 443. After more detective work, I think I've narrowed the problem to the aliasing. The first alias which nginx is on is slower than the second where apache is. When I placed nginx on the same ip, but different port than apache, the speed is much better. There must be some ip address priority as the nginx server is new and has zero traffic on it. This is probably out of scope, but if you have any other thoughts or advice, let me know.

Thanks again for your help on this.
