Thanks for the feedback.  Understood that any TPS measurement is relative.  
Just curious to see if there is any consesus on industry leaders in terms of 
performance.  

I am interested in tech solutions for how to scale flow horizontally across 
mutliple java based gateway instances based upon our own benchmarks. This is 
more of a java question tho'.
