Hi Alex,
If we see activity in that area, then we can decide on whether it will be
less time to create our own perf suite within the constraints of Apache or
go through the hassle of getting these tests donated and separated from
their server dependencies.
I can only try to figure out how it is a painfull work, but I trust you :)
The point creating our own perf suite is to not enter in a legal problem if
we use an approach in something similar at the Adobe's one.
AFAIK, ASF does not supply separate servers. Everything is shared. I'm
seriously considering buying my own computers to run CI.
Funny, I've got 3 computers at home and tought the same thing.
We burned out at least two engineers trying to create an automated perf
suite. I was not involved. But from the email trail, it was not a smooth
process.
From what I understood, they were trying to do a dashbord (html based) but
what we need could be an automatic email to this list for example for
which, the PerfSubmitter could be a good base IMO

It's not a priority but that gonna become usefull especialy when we gonna
try to optimize UIComponent and other pieces of the SDK

The problem with any perf suite that runs on people's computers is the
possibility of variances between runs that are unrelated to the code
changes.
You right, do you think ASF can provide this kind of computer ? we don't
even need a powerfull one but just one to serve as baseline.

I think we had a dedicated sandboxed computer for official testing
at Adobe.
You haven't see it ?
