I have run this command siege -c50 -d10 -t3M http://www.example.com in both the versions 3.0.8 and 4.0.4. I got a totally different result. Can anyone give me a solution for this and why do the values differ in these versions..?

Thank You.
HTML parsing was added to version 4.0.0 and it is enabled by default. It makes an additional request for resources like style sheets, images, javascript, etc.
We can enable/disable this feature in the siege.conf file, by setting the value of parser to true/false.
