[Haskell-cafe] Happstack: serveDirectory vs serveFile

[Semen Trygubenko / Семен Тригубенко]

Dear all,

I've ran a simple benchmark where two serve functions
were side-by-side in an msum and looked like

dirs "hehe"     $ serveDirectory DisableBrowsing [] "/hehe"
dirs "favicon.ico" $ serveFile (asContentType "image/x-icon") "favicon.ico"

"hehe" directory also contained file "favicon.ico".

This is happstack server version 7.3.9.

I've been hammering it with ab and confirmed this puzzling result:
it seems that serveFile route is approximately
two orders of magnitude slower than serveDirectory route...

Will be grateful for any clues as to what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks,
S.
