I disagree, load testing comes after you have performance tuned the application for single requests, the execution times will point you to areas of code that need improvement, or optimization, load testing can help point you to bottle necks exosed when the throughput is much higher than the single request. Execution times will help you optimize the code, load testing will help you optimize the logic. > However, an execution > time above 250ms is just plain slow. That is entirely relative - if you are doing a query manipulating 40,000 rows and your server is running on an old 486 with 64mb of ram then 250ms would be pretty bloody quick (magic box quick!), and if you are displaying a simple "Hello World" template on an Athlon 1700XP with 2 gig of usable Ram and a 3 gig Ram Disk containing your entire operating system, then 250ms is pretty slow. --- James Sleeman Innovative Media Ltd Ph: (03) 377 6262 http://www.websolutions.co.nz CAUTION: The information contained in this email message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
