[RADIATOR] Any recent benchmarks for Radiator?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Bruno -

A server such as you describe should be able to do several thousand requests per second.

However, as you say, you will need to take into account proxy response times in the overal system design.

There were some benchmark figures posted by one of our OEM customers a year or so ago - you should be able to find them on the archive.

Does anyone else on the list have any numbers?

regards

Hugh

NB: 

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets), 
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
