I re-ran the results with your latest changes and posted the new numbers.
https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/go/wiki2118
I also turned on mod_deflate. I do not normally use it for the reason
Ivan mentioned.
I also changed MaxKeepAliveRequests from 64 to 5000
The numbers are a little better. There is on anomaly in the
FolderTests where an update blew up from 2 seconds to over 10 minutes.
I had this problem one other time when running with Serf. I am not
sure what goes on when that happens. Maybe something similar happened
with the initial checkout when it went from 20 minutes to 2 minutes?
I am currently running the Neon tests again to while I have
mod_deflate configured.
