We have just updated our search indexing benchmark page to reflect the new V5 release.
The benchmarks we have done compare the 4 different versions of the Zoom search scripts provided (ASP, PHP, CGI & Javascript), so that you can see how Zoom performs on sites of certain sizes with the available scripting platforms.
Here is one of the several graphs from the ASP, PHP, CGI & Javascript comparison page.
As with the previous set of tests we did with V4, the CGI option far outperforms the other options. In some cases it is more than 70 times faster. The next fastest option is PHP, then ASP. With Javascript being the slowest.
The V5 optimisations we did are really noticeable for the CGI option.
For a 289 page site the search time was 0.009 seconds.
For a 60,000 page site the search time was 0.077 seconds.
For a 300,000 page site the search time was 0.254 seconds.
So even for 300K pages, the search time is well under 1 second.
For a comparision in V4 the result was 0.535 seconds for a 60,000 page site.
So this is a 6 fold improvement in the CGI search times between V4 and V5.
For the ASP script search times are about 24% better. For the PHP script search times are about 20% better (but PHP is still quicker than ASP). Javascript, as always, is not too flash, with search times over 1 second for medium sized sites.
