I need you need to take a step back and understand your problem scenario well. Rendering is client side activity and you need to bit techy to understand it and I am not sure if you use browser to view the text files. If you use browser, then It's very simple, larger the size of text file, more the time browser will take to render it and there is hardly optimization you can do here. Client side activity is always 1 user test. Generally to understand rendering , please see below links, How to Look at Performance | Web Tools - Google Developers https://www.udacity.com//course/viewer#!/c-ud884/l-1464158641/m-1573738632 I use most of the time timing api's to measure the rendering. Its easy to use and gives correct measurement.

The operation you mentioned can be measured using jmeter, if you are getting the text file from the cloud, it becomes get request, and if you are editing and then again saving it to cloud,then its get and then followed by either post or put request, all these can be done via jmeter via http sampler. What jmeter cannot do is measuring the rendering time, and based on your description of the problem, I do not think you need rendering. I am also not sure as what type of text editor are you talking about, notepad or notepad++ or WYSIWYG type of text editor(these are rich editor often embedded in webpages and often the source of performance issues, so there is often the limitation in terms of number of characters allowed in.)

I will run the tests with dummy text file that has random files inside.

Beside from uploading and downloading files, i want to open a large txt file that is uploaded to the cloud. We have problems with rendering large txt files and i want to test it. So, how do i open a test.txt file, and cause the server to render it but not downloading it? Thanks in advance, Konstantinos Dimkas Konstantinos Dimkas Konstantinos Dimkas
