I am trying to measure perfornace on nginx with ab. Doing the same ab from the local machine gives me about 10 times the requests per second as from a remote machine that is located on the same network.
Local results:
Server Software: nginx

And now from a remote machine:

The problem seems to be within the connection times.
Network ist fast. Netperf returns 80 Mb/s Both machines are VM hosted on 2 different physical machines running quad cores. connected via gigabit switch.
Has anybody an idea what could be the problem?
Thank you for any help.
