I've installed Radiator v2.1.4 and Radmin v1.3 on one NT Server, and MS SQL on another NT Server. Both servers are based on PIII-500MHz with 256MB RAM and SCSI disk.
I measured the average throughput with the following command:
radpwtst -iterations 1000 -noacct -user john -password hello -time
The best number I could get is around 12 transactions per sec. The NT server running Radiator is only 20% utillized for CPU. The NT server running MS-SQL is around 50% utlitilzed for CPU. It seems a bit low to me.
The interesting part is when I keep on running the radpwtst above, the number will keep on going down to around 5 tps. However, whenever I stop and restart Radiator, the performance number will go back up to 12 tps, and then degrade again. Is that indicative of some issue with Radiator configuration?
I would like to find out if the above results are typical, and what are the numbers that others are observing on a NT-based setup using MS-SQL.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
