I'd like to offer what little I've done to measure attachment speeds: https://github.com/wickedgrey/couchdb-attachment-speed
It's in python, but might be useful as an example of what to test. I've explained in more detail in this user@ mailing list thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201112.mbox/%3CCADa34LDmNe5i8gx=merawz6ihdbamd2z2wqbarurkaisre4...@mail.gmail.com%3E I'd been planning on trying to get some more attention on this issue once 1.2.0 had been formally released, and I could do speed testing with it. However, it seems like it's very on topic for what you're trying to do. Let me know if I can help, Eli
