Apache/IIS Performance Benchmarks?

[Xenoxide]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there are any benchmarks out there for Apache 2.x or IIS 6+? I'm wondering how many pages these guys can serve up per second and on what hardware?

In case you're wondering, I'm developing a web based game which will be heavilly AJAX based (Gracefully degradeable). I've been looking into Comet but it seems this isn't wise on a PHP based backend, so I'm trying to find out how often I can get away with polling the server using AJAX without bringing the server to its knees.

Cheers

Thanks for that link but unfortunately I don't have a choice over which server is used. At the moment I'm developing my game on the uni server which is based on IIS, but I also have a web host which provides Apache. Unfortunately that's all I have.

Are there any actual benchmarks out there?
