+## Throughput test
+The throughput test determines the maximum throughput a user can get out of
the system while using a single action. The action used again is a noop, so the
numbers are plain OpenWhisk overhead. Note that the throughput does not
directly correlate to end-to-end latency here, as the system does more
processing in the background as it shows to the user in a blocking invocation.

+- 4 HTTP requests at a time (concurrency: 4) (basically CPU cores * 2 to
exploit some buffering)
