Hello Chris, 50 users, short circuit(no sql), 1 iteration per user, test duration 15mins. Threads are 10 and DB connections are 25. Will add DB Cache in next iteration. Have made only one change, cant change all params at once such as to gauge performance change. Test progressing well until 7th minute. hits/sec fallen to <50 from 250/sec and resp times gone up dramatically. TPS is at 25+ currently for the set of 50 users. Overall throughput has increased drastically. About a 100% increase than the previous set of tests. Will get back.....!!!
