Doh! Turns out that my first Umbraco 4.1 benchmarks was done on a build of 4.1 that had a couple of bugs in it :( BUT, this turns out to be even better for 4.1 that I previously thought! (plus there’s bugs fixed now :) If you didn’t read the last post, i recommend that you do as it has some insight as to how these stats came to be.

So, without further adieu, here’s the (true) new results:

Test	Stats	4.0.3	4.0.3 client cached	4.1	4.1 client cached
Content app	Completed Requests	68	7	45	5
	Response (KB)	687.05	72.48	382.42	11.61
Edit content home page	Completed Requests	50	2	34	1
	Response (KB)	385.10	47.28	335.02	11.94
Expand all content nodes	Completed Requests	17	17	16	16
	Response (KB)	18.47	18.47	13.96	7.54
TOTALS	Completed Requests	135	26	95	22
	Response (KB)	1063.62	138.23	731.40	31.09

So to recap, here’s the total average savings in 4.1

• Without client cache (First run)
  • Number of completed requests: 30% Less
  • Response bandwidth: 31% Less
• With client cache
  • Number of completed requests: 6% Less
  • Response bandwidth: 78% Less
