[Bob Jolliffe <bobjolliffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Sorry to be jumping in on this discussion (the genesis of which I know
nothing!) but it got me thinking that we should consider developing a
couple of uniform performance tests like this one for comparison
purposes.

This would require that we make use of a "standard" sample data set.
Were you guys using your own data or the sanitized sample data from
South Africa?

If we use the same data we can start benchmarking and publishing up on
the wiki.  This kind of information would be really useful for
programmers optimizing stuff but also for implementors getting some
idea if their configuration is producing reasonable performance.

Does anybody know how representative is the existing sample data ie.
would it form a good basis for testing?

What are the real bottleneck processes to benchmark:
1. startup/initial login time
2. datamart export
3. ....

We can use selenium to automate some of the processes and timing,

Regards
Bob

PS. just re-read and noticed that you are using the SL orgunit.
