 > I've done some benchmarks of ATS vs Nginx, just to confirm Nginx was
 > comparably fast enough, as I had concerns about that. I had heard
 > rumours its caching layer was sub-par and wanted to make sure it would
 > survive the load. It passed the tests with great success.
 >
 > It's also easier to configure.

 > You can see my detailed analysis here:

 > https://help.torproject.org/tsa/howto/cache/
 >
 > And the steps remaining for the launch are detailed here:

 > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32239
 >
 > If you have no objections, I would most likely perform the first
 > production switch tomorrow or wednesday, to see if we can handle the
 > load.
