Sales: Call 877.832.5289 (N America)Magento speed tests
We took a basic Magento install (v1.1.2) with sample data using this script from the Magento wiki. We then tested the opening time of the front page against different server configurations. Every configuration was opened 300 times with a GET command and the wall clock time was logged.
We tested the installation on our shared cluster, on a single server removed from the cluster.
We varied the storage (NFS/localdisk) and PHP caching method (no cache/xcache/apc).
