ck, great stuff.
As you mentioned, it doesn't show everything - my biggest beef is that it was run on a cloud, which is something that few of us do in the real world.
Were the requests sent in from the same cloud, or were they sent in from afar?
Thanks so much for doing this!
Other questions would be to somehow compare your request numbers to actual number of users - for instance, does this load simulate any scenario - for instance, perhaps 1000 "real world" users on a normal board? Or 2,000, etc.
Again, thanks for this - if nothing else it shows that many boards can do the job well, especially when tuned and not loaded up with plug-ins and add-ons. SMF 2 appears to do a heck of a job!
I suppose XF is not yet fully optimized in the code because they are working so hard on it. I'm not a programmer, but it does seem that code being modified often is often not just fully speed optimized....until the "gold" release.
Oh, another big deal is probably to test the "inserts" and "alters" on such forums.....IMHO, they provide a lot of load because pages have to be refreshed, etc.
Please let us know if you need some support - financial or others (cheering) to continue to do this type of testing.
