Hi Raminda,

Can you please describe how do you measure performance? What clients do
you use?  Full nginx configuration would be nice to see also.
Do you measure request time or maybe overall throughput or something
else. Any details are appreciated.

Please ensure that for perforamnce tests you use nginx built without debug,
as it produces quite a lot messages if built in debug mode.
