## Performance stuff

While we never documented any benchmark publically,

the popular open source project [ZIMG](http://zimg.buaa.us) did a bit of that

for us.The ZIMG team decided to move away from NGINX to libevhtp for their

software, and the results were pretty outstanding. Here is a graph showing their

application under very high load

![ZIMG GRAPH](/zimg_vs_nginx.png)

The X-axis is the number of connections, while the Y-axis is requests per

second.

You can read the whole article here: [Architecture Design of an Image Server](http://zimg.buaa.us/documents/Architecture_Design_of_Image_Server/)

Slightly outdated (Now faster!)
