Those sound like impressive results, Joe.  But I guess it all depends on
what you compare it to.  So, I decided to run the JMeter Web Stress tool
against one of my ILE Web Application Servers.  The ILE server reads a
database file and builds a 6KB response containing HTML and fields from the
database.  The average response time is about .6 seconds when serving 5
simultaneous clients.

The impressive thing is that this is all done with a model 170-2290, which
has a CPW rating of 73.

Nathan.
