RE: [offtopic] Performance check

 A really sure question, for those of you, who already finished a 
 project. Where can I find some kind of statistics telling me, how many
 users per day can produce how many simultaneous clicks. I kind of seen
 such a stuff, but can't find it again.
 
 For example, if my application can handle 20 clicks / second, how
 many users/day could I approximately handle without big problems? :)

It depends entirely on your application and your user population.  How
many clicks in a user session, how many sessions per day from the same
user?  OK, that's the number of clicks per day from that user.  Divide
your maximum pages served per day by this number, and you get your
absolute maximum number of users per day.  Don't forget to factor in
that applications rarely have the same load over a 24-hour period, so
you'll have to apply some kind of divisor to the results to allow for
peaks and troughs in use.

Only you can answer these questions, as only you know what your
application is and how your users will use it.

Thanks for your answer!

I see your point. Well in my case this is a usual web-shop portal.
So the question here maybe is: how many normal-behavior shopping
users have to be present on my site to generate user 20 clicks per 
second in the peak-near area, let say 80-90% of the time. I guess 
100-300? :)


I mean even in this case I have 100 clicks in the peak time, and maybe 
have some waiting time (4-5 seconds) but I's not a real issue, because

normal users can tolerate even longer lags...

So... :) Anyone done something similar, any experience? :)

Cheers,

Danny
