PHP Performance Profiling with APD

PHP Performance Profiling with APD 10/29/2003 12:11 AM
Good article on profiling PHP using APD, the Advanced PHP Debugger. This is a bit of a misnomer, because APD is not a debugger you use to step through your code, but is actually a diagnostic and profiling tool. I mostly use XDebug for profiling, but APD looks like a cool alternative.

And if you are interested in performance tuning, do have a look at ADOdb's database performance monitoring features. The dreadful thing about SQL is that it is an iceberg of complexity hidden in a deceptively simple query language. Bad PHP code can slow your code down by a factor of x2-5 perhaps. But one bad SQL statement can cause a x10-100 times slowdown.

Lastly, if you are using Windows, unless you have the ability and means to compile APD, you're out of luck. This is one area where PECL (which is the official repository for PHP extensions) could improve on.

Update: George (APD's author) mentions that Shane Caraveo has ported APD to Windows, and Will and John add that pre-compiled PECL dll's for Windows are available from here and there. (added 25 Oct 2003).

The information in this article can also be used to ensure that a server is not degrading over time because of hardware issues or malfunctions. .

The Petstore Revisited: J2EE vs .NET
Server Performance 10/31/2002 01:15 AM
TheServerSide presents a pretty damning report about EJB servers. They compared 2 EJB servers (most likely Weblogic and Websphere) against a .NET server implementation. TheServerSide modified and improved the Java Pet Store blueprint. Unfortunately, the results were pretty dissapointing. In essence, the .NET servers performed at least twice as fast and could handle at least twice the load as compared to the EJB servers.

Top Ten Web Performance Tuning Tips

Top Ten Web Performance Tuning Tips 07/03/2002 06:06 AM
This article is by Patrick Killelea, author of Web Performance Tuning, 2nd Edition. I debated for a while as to whether I should post a link to this article here because I disagree with at least 5 of the tips. Normally when this happens i dismiss the article as one written by a scripting kiddie and forget about it. However Patrick has written an O'Reilly book on this topic!

I disagree with 2,4,5,8 in general (though you can always point out specific examples that apply) and 9 is useless if you do not manage your network. What do you think?

The SQLH2 Performance Collector is a stand-alone service of Microsoft Windows that collects and stores performance counter data from selected servers. You should install this optional component if you are interested in collecting performance counters along with system information. The SQLH2 Collector gathers the data that this service collects and stores this data in the repository when you run the SQLH2 Collector. To obtain the SQLH2 Collector, search the Microsoft download site and search for "SQLH2".

DIY Media Server Part 1

DIY Media Server Part 1 03/14/2005 04:34 PM

As my collection of MP3s, DVDs, and Mpegs has grown I often thought to myself, “Why can’t my Tivo help me with all this media?” Then I started searching the Internet to see what was out there that I could use as a PC based alternative. I found numerous software packages that would fit the bill. Some of the programs I found were Showshifter, Meedio (formally HTPC), SageTV, and ByondTV. You really get the most out of these programs if you have a TV tuner card however my media library already existed.
I settled on Meedio after downloading the trial version and roaming around its support forums for a while. While all the software packages I mentioned above have their pluses and minuses, you have to choose the one that fits your needs. That is what I think Meedio does for me. While searching through the forums I came across many plug-ins or add-on modules that I would like to incorporate into my media server. Continued research lead me to a particular Meedio user’s set-up. In my opinion it was what I hoped to see in mine. (Check out Gaz’s set-up here.)
So, welcome to my journey into building my Meedio box. I look forward to sharing my trials and tribulations with you as well as an occasional picture. Please feel free to send me your comments about this project. (e-mail me)
Thanks to Gaz for sharing his server build.
See you in Part 2.

Microsoft have decided to not make available Virtual Server 2005 for MSDN subscribers. Instead, the company has arranged a special promotion:

The VS and MSDN teams have collaborated to create a special offer for Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions which are being made available only to MSDN Universal and MSDN Enterprise subscribers between October 1, 2004 and March 31, 2005. This is a special promotional offer.

MSDN Universal and Enterprise level subscribers are being granted special access to Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions as downloads from MSDN Subscriber Downloads only. Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions will not be made available by fulfillment or in the monthly subscription shipments.

This is the full retail, production version of the product and does not include the typical MSDN restrictions of running only in dev/test environments and can be run in production (except on XP Pro).
