siege -c 500 -i -t60s urls.txt
urls.txt was generated using this post

Type : Community
Version : 1.9.0.1
SKU Count : 3974

Running on MCE-SIP-200

Thanks for the result.

Can you please try

siege -b -c 50 -n 10 -i -f urls.txt
siege -b -c 100 -n 10 -i -f urls.txt
siege -b -c 500 -n 10 -i -f urls.txt

Those command simulates 50, 100 and 500 visitors, each visitor view 10 pages.

What you did with siege is simulating 500 concurrent users, each visitor view 78 pages average, In a real-world situation, it is not likely each visitor has that many page views.

I assuming urls.txt only contain category and product detail pages, no static assets, static asset will boost TPS.

Please do the same test without varnish, see how much you can get. We can get a rough idea how much varnish improves the performance.

That's a nice test bed. pretty powerful.

Thanks,
