`2. All testing in local

3. Testing with step:
   yum install httpd-tools -y
   sh /script/clearcache3
   sh /script/restart-all
   ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://bugfix.potissima.com/ `

`4. *) testing 3 x running 'ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://bugfix.potissima.com/'
with idle between testing less then 10 seconds (according to caching time for 'microcache'); hiawatha also have the effect with using their 'microcache' technique
**) look like still something trouble with Trafficserver where no cache effect;
the same result for Squid Cache Proxy

5. Testing application: Wordpress 3.6.1 + Mesocolumn Theme `

What is the server spec? How is ther environment controlled? Not really a valid test without these.

First i have heard of hiawatha. I looked it up and it looks interesting. It's the third web server to be named after a native american tribe after Apache and Cherokee. Of course Apache is a play on A Patchy Server because it started out as patches to another server .

Hiawatha is smallest rpm. Hiawatha 0.50, Apache 5.50, Nginx 2.50 and Lighttpd 0.75 MB rpm.
