Re: Load testing HTTP 1.1 and SSL

[Asankha C. Perera]

Tatu I may be wrong.. but I guess the issues are due to too much garbage being created by JMeter and the actual transport components as well as the visualization. Profiling might show you exactly whats wrong - but I consider JMeter as a good way to automate a set of simple end-to-end functional tests or a simple load test - but not as a performance benchmarking tool to test something like a HTTP server. asankha Tatu Saloranta wrote: --- Paul Fremantle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've tried JMeter in the past, but its not very fast itself, so typically it requires a much bigger machine that the server, or a network of clients to work effectively. We'll take a look at the benchmark clients you posted though. I'm glad I'm not the only one with such experiences. Service I tried to test has peak rate of above 2k per second, and testable using simple load testing client (on top of HttpClient, or even Sun's default http connection). But via JMeter I could never get over about 250 per second, on a reasonably new desktop. But what I was wondering was what exactly causes such overhead... ie. is it due to design (really meant for low-to-medium request rates), implementation problems, or just overhead from visualization components. Has anyone had better luck in getting higher throughput rates from JMeter? Any specific tuning, settings that might help? I know that this is more a JMeter question, but given that this seems to affect generic XML-over-HTTP requests, which usually use HttpClient, I hope it's somewhat relevant question -+ Tatu +- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
