-1 seems like the author didn't use EM-friendly sleeps & http clients when appropriate.
-1 not clear if the author used a separate, in-DC machine for load testing or his laptop, and what the CPU looked like on the test machines during those tests. If they're sitting idle at 20% usage because RTT between your desk and EC2, that's not a great test. Additionally, it takes some sysctl tuning to really make OSX able to run a decent number of requests/s necessary for load testing of any type.
- stormbrew 12y agoI'm not sure it's even possible to get OSX into a state where it's a reliable and useful tool for IO-based load testing. It's not 100% clear to me that the author of this was using OSX for any part, except that they mention installing siege through brew, but if they did that pretty much renders the results meaningless. There needs to be a mantra: Benchmarks are hard.
