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.

Subject: Performance testing

We've just installed a new 720 box and I am looking for a way to demonstrate the
performance difference between it and our old 525. Can anyone suggest a simple
method to evaluate the performance difference without worrying too much about
the difference in load etc. I don't need anything too elaborate, just a method
that might give me some practical measure of the difference in horsepower.
