Nginx poor performance on FreeBSD 9-STABLE

[einthusan]

I am getting out of the box performance for static files as 30 req/sec. This is extremely low. Disk activity and processor are 99% idle. Is this because of ZFS or what can it be?

It can be anything, from DoS attack in your network to broken hardware. I would check network first.

You need to provide more info, to get a serious response.

Oh, I should mention that I am able to use nginx for video streaming with over 100 concurrent connections and throughput of over 50 MB/s. So I know it's not a disk I/O, processor, or network issue. Do you think it's the client machine from where I am running apachebench?
