Re: Performance testing

See if your partner has a contract with MPG to do a 30 day comparison.  
Assuming you still have the performance data collected (collection 
objects hopefully but the full data is OK  too) the MPG software will 
give you before and after on almost anything you would like to see.

If you would like some help with it contact me off line.  I (in the form 
of being a partner in iEngineer LLC) do have a contract with MPG.
