The tool is "ab", included with any Apache distribution ( including Windows). Hello and HelloW are included with TC 3.3 - in src/examples/WEB-INF/classes. I'll add few more simple servlets to test other aspects of a servlet container ( session processing, parameters, request dispatching ). > I want to run the test on some strong machine around (with several > processors) and see where this can take us. I would be very curious to hear some numbers. I'll try to reorganize the file, so we can include data for other platforms ( I wanted to check the evolution of tomcat on my machine ) > Last que: What is (in the results below): RPS, MAX, AVG, Concurrent, test > and warm. Sorry about that, there are just raw data without too much info. > Warm: 1000 -> run 1000 requests before the test ( to make sure everything is in memory ) > Test: 10000 -> the test consist of 10000 requests > Concurent: 1 20 40 80 -> I tried with 1, 20, 40, 80 "concurent" connections ( ab -c xx ) ( and up to 340 for tomcat 3.3, 3.2 can go that far on my machine ) > RPS AVG MAX > 20: 134 150 701 ^ 20 concurent connections ^ Equivalent requests per second, as reported by "ab" ( by dividing the number of requests by total time ) ^ Average response time for a request ^ Maximum response time for a request Costin
