Server performance

Anonymous

Is there some suggestions to increase the performance of Abyss? If you click on this link http://24.244.207.9:81/tsr/ you'll notice how slow the site is. Abyss and this site are on a P4 1.6G system with 1 G of RAM.
For the heck of it, I install Apache and the exact same site was very fast. Load time was under 2-3 seconds and was installed on a slower system (P3-500, 512 MB).
For the record, I have PHP and ASP installed with the Abyss server. Could this be slowing things down even though that website doesn't use any of those?
Thanks

When using some default CGI settings, you may dramatically decrease the speed of your server.
For better performance, set "Resolve interpreter using the Windows Registry" and "Resolve interpreter using the script's #! line" to No. That way Abyss Web Server will rely only on the script extension to know what interpreter will run it (and this faster.)
Also, try restricting the CGI Paths to the only paths that really contain CGI scripts. Avoid using '/' as Abyss Web Server will test if all the requested files are CGI files before serving them.
If you don't use SSI, disable it. Remove also the unused aliases and try reducing the number of the default index files.
All these tips will help you increase the performance of Abyss Web Server.
