Did you ever try the Web Stress Tool vom Microsoft
(http://webtool.rte.microsoft.com)?
Its for free, and has lot of options to simulate simultanous load, and
you can record real-world sample scripts on the fly using IE. Of course,
you're not limited to test windows systems, only the client is a windows
program.
I've did some load testing with it on two cocoon2b2-based projects, with
two-folded results (which still have to analyse more if i find the
time):
- the first one is a project for a cocoon-based web site with 3 dozens
tables and a couple SQL Statements using ESQL for each page request. I
served 50 simulatnous user without acceptable performance degradation
and _without_ caching (only XSL Stylesheets were cached). CPU time and
memory consumption remaind constant.
- the second project is a web application with combination of Cococon2
and JSP-Pages, very complex SQL Statements using ESQL and complex
transformations, in combination with static XML files (XML files and XSL
stylesheet cached). In this configuration i have very poor performance,
a 1GHz Server with 512MB RAM can seems to be full loaded at 10 users!
So far my very first tests.
