Good stuff – I have also done some benchmarking of my own on Squid and Varnish. My results found that Varnish serves up content much faster than Squid does. My tests really test the throughput of the two applications.

Just a word of caution: the current version of WordPress is 2.8.2 and it seems you still have 2.7.something. There was a significant security fix in 2.8.1 so you may want to upgrade sooner rather than later. Here is a quick upgrade quide that may be helpful: http://www.krazyworks.com/?p=812

Jauder Ho: Could you post your configs for varnish and squid? That would be useful to know. Thanks.

Hi Jauder, As this benchmark was taken one year ago, I cannot find the configurations. Sorry :-(

Hi Willy,
Yeah, this time the result is much better :-)
We now have one project run varnish, I think it’s a better choice.
IMHO, there’s no doubt that varnish is more powerful by reading its architecture notes.
Thanks again for your time, Willy.
