Hi Chris, Yes, I am doing my measurements in a controlled environment. As for measurments I have gone as far as using a sniffer for looking at the tcp/ip conversations.
I understand about the timers for Apache but as hardware and the servlet containers (and jvms) get faster the old timers become obsolete from my perspective especially as companies want to shrink thier data centers the metrics of how web and app servers are doing become more important. CPU utilization need to be complemented by response time measurements for services. The faster the web and/or app server is the more clients it can handle without adding hardware. Other app server commercial products are starting to make a big deal out of real-time responses (millisecond or microsecond) when open source does not seem to even able to tell you how good they are and I am trying to prove that with open source and cheap hardware why buy commercial grade? But to do that I need to prove it not only in a controlled environment but the admins need to see that in their logs to tell thier boss. Does that help?
