Sadly the link to the followup (http://www.evilsoapbox.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1612) fails with a database authentication error.


Here you go:

The dynamic link, ie. ?p=1234 has to be served dynamically but the static slug can be served by supercache or similar.

What I find far more fascinating:

    EXT3: 329.83 requests/sec
    EXT4: 484.27 requests/sec
ext4 is 30% faster than ext3? Really? What's going on there...


Strange indeed. Why is the disk accessed in the first place? For a site like this, I would expect all content to be cached in ram all the time.


There is no meaningful data to confirm this, to say the least. http://dtrace.org/blogs/brendan/2012/10/23/active-benchmarki...


Your math is a bit off. I think you mean 46% faster. That is surprising if consistently reproducible.
