Whats the best way to get performance numbers for modifications to bitcoin
? Profiling it while running on testnet might work, but that would take a
rather long time to get data.
Is there anyway to speed this up if we only needed to
provide relative performance between tests. (in a sense a fast performance
regression test).
At least in theory, one possibility would be to replay real
bitcoin transactions to a test-net-in-a-box network (of maybe a few nodes)
that has the real blockchain history loaded into it but then operates at a
far reduced hash difficulty in order facilitate running quickly.
Are there existing techniques/scripts for some kind of perf testing with
traffic that at least approximates real world traffic ?
The test infrastructure that ships with bitcoin does not appear to provide
this.
Thanks,
Ian
