Home web server v2 or Pro/Video/v3?

[Dima85]

What is the best buy for a home web server?
Nginx + php.

Personally...

- Cherokee
- PHP
- PHP-APC

Mind you, I'm on V2. Also, if you want to minimize memory usage, limit thread size:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ulimit -s 256')

I would go with the V2. The Pro can hit a bottleneck with the memory so even though it has more MIPS, you won't see them because of the memory limitations.

You know MIPS is subjective, yes? The Pro is dual-issue .. and .. anyways.. you're doing the math wrong because those numbers are wrong in the first place from the Pro. No, I am not saying that you're wrong in what they present, I am saying they are wrong in how they are calculated in the first place.

Yes, in a gross sense, single threaded performance is different at a roughly proportional rate to the difference of the processor clocks.

Why? The first part should be outright obvious. The second part is that despite being an armv6 compared to an armv5, we are not using armv6 specific instructions no the packages used by the oxnas, because it did not warrant an entire soft-float armv6-non-vfp repo be built, and still doesn't. The sheer number of devices using armv6, let alone without a vfp, is not large enough to warrant the time & resource expenditure. So while a v6-specific package comparison might make a small hedge of difference, it's not going to be "obvious" to the general populace.

And technically, it is dual-issue, not dual-core, but loong long story on why that makes little difference to the end user.

Check this thread. Pro vs V2 using the 7zip benchmark. The Pro should be capable of more calculations per second, but because it has 1/2 the memory it can hit a bottleneck.
