I did some more tests. This time running the requests from one 720, and making requests to another 720. Here's the results. Time is in seconds. The program is figuring tax for the values specified. I did not restart the instance before each run, so any new jobs started were there for the next run. If someone has an IIS web server that I can hit with my test, let me know and I'll do the same test. I just need a URL and a query string data (or post data). 10 requests Min: 0.811 Max: 4.207 Avg: 2.398 50 requests Min: 1.502 Max: 4.789 Avg: 2.940 100 requests Min: 0.339 Max: 5.861 Avg: 2.450 300 requests Min: 0.121 Max: 6.746 Avg: 2.293 Don't ask me why it seems to get better the more it's getting hit (average time). Maybe it likes punishement, or maybe it's because of the extra jobs that were started. No more than 21 CGI jobs were running at the end of the test. Both machines are being used, but not heavily at all.
