First of all, I'm not participating in any discussion pertaining to licensing and
pricing so I cannot really help you there. Talk to your Apple representative.
But I'm curious how you can get to 25 tpm with one user. A WebObjects transaction is
one round trip from the user web browser to your application, not counting the images
(usually directly served by your HTTP server anyway).
So basically you are saying that your users are downloading and viewing 25 pages per
minute? Can you explain what your application does? I'm just curious. With a highly
interactive application like the WOInfoCenter it's pretty damn near impossible to hit
the 25 tpm restriction unless you are not reading anything and just clicking like mad
on the links.
