Here is an interesting question for you thread experts out there.
 
How many concurrent 'creates' does your system support?  Creates being a
generic term for any given process that your system supports.  The system
that I support is a home grown quote/order management system and last year
we stood up a web service interface for people to be able to generate quotes
from their systems and get pricing back.  The initial interface was setup to
handle 3 concurrent creates...but as soon as it was a success we started
getting slammed with several hundred at a time and choking our system.
Through rigorous testing and tweaking over the last couple of weeks I have
been able to get roughly 60 concurrent going through the system with
reasonable performance....so at this point I have my Fast set to 30/100
min/max....confirmed that I'm not maxing anything specific out....but I
personally have never run above 20ish threads as a high because most
transactions are short and a fast thread count of 20 will handle hundreds of
users in 'normal' operation.....so I was just wondering how many requests
you guys have your system to handle concurrently....and just for
verification...I'm talking about 'all of them hit the button within a second
of each other' type of concurrent...not 'I hove 400 people logged on
concurrently'
