Siege benchmarking

Question

I need to benchmark apache website in linux server. I have configured Siege and it works fine..

When I run siege on local host I get transaction rate ie 625.00 trans/sec

command is : siege -b -c 200 -r 10 http://localhost

When I run same siege on different site I get different transaction rate i.e 99.21 trans/sec

siege -b -c 200 -r 10 http://apache.org

I want to know how my Apache server is being used in siege when I run for different sites. please clarify this.

Your local apache server is not being used when you run siege against external sites. — Brian Wigginton, May 07 '13 at 23:26
Ok so Siege is just like a client and performance will be measured for targeted URL web server. — Vinod HC, May 08 '13 at 09:16

The website in your local host is by naturally faster than the ones hosted live. The server response time will be very fast in the local server.
