There is a wealth of statistics ( 1, 2 ) pointing out the extreme impatience of online shoppers (conversion rates dropping 7% due to 1 second page load delays, 38% due to 5 second page loads, vast numbers of visitors abandoning sites that are perceived as slow to load, etc.).
While LiteSpeed Enterprise consistently outperforms the other servers (with 30% to 50% faster load times), as the number of concurrent visitors increases, performance becomes unacceptable across all three platforms.
On the other hand, LiteMage, our advanced cache solution for Magento, is engineered to minimize Magento core code execution. Unlike competing solutions, our unique ESI inline object technology employs a single backend call for complete page generation, and has allowed us to consistently outperform others (see 'Real User Performance vs. "Benchmarks"' below).
Your Magento stores now get the same lightning fast speed for first page load times as for subsequent pages, 0.25 seconds(!) in our benchmark testing environment. LiteMage 1.3 consistently delivers 10x better first page view speed than Turpentine, with no significant deterioration even at extremely high concurrent user numbers.
