How do you measure or compare speed? I have a Python program which add a predefined number of users (1mil and each user consists of 8 DNs and 3 alias DNs) and for Modify test I have also Python program which modify 1 attribute with random value under one DN changed sequentially from 1 to 1mil)
Now I can add those 1 million of users in 5508 sec what amounts to 181,55 users per second. Modify program can do 2141,33 modifications per sec. Do you find those numbers reasonable or are they nonsense? Is there a way to get 10000 modifications per second or I am asking a stupid question?
