If you check these numbers, you'll notice that with a time of 49 ms per request and 200 concurrent requests, you;ll end up at exactly 4000 requests / second: (1000 ms / (49 ms / req)) * (200 req / s) = 4081 req / s Thus, in order to achieve a higher throughput, you have two options: * You could try to reduce the time required per request, which probably helps a certain amount, * or you could increase the concurrency of your requests with ab. Since in the real world, you'll probably get fewer requests per source form way more sources, this would probably simulate your actual production load even better. Best, Holger
