Measuring the speed of NEOSYS on the server

In NEOSYS maintenance mode press F5:

FILESPEED

Measures the speed at to create and delete a file with 1000x1Kb records - lower time is better

Example speed is 1 second on a high quality notebook 7200rpm Hitachi deskstar Speeds less than 8 seconds are acceptable for small installations Speeds less than 4 seconds are acceptable for larger installations Antivirus usually needs to be configured to exclude OV or OV? files. See section Configuring Antivirus for NEOSYS

PROCSPEED

Measures the processor speed – higher speed is better

Example speed is 540K tests per second on an Intel Core Duo 1.8Ghz

MEMSPEED

Measures the memory speed – higher speed is better

Example speed is 27K tests per second on an Intel Core Duo 1.8Ghz with 667MHz DDR 2 SDRAM

Benchmarking the speed of NEOSYS over the network

Test speed using Menu > Help > System Speed Test: (use option 100 for the number of times to repeat)

The three loopback tests checks the connection from:

  1. Web server loopback: User PC -> Apache2 and back.
  2. EXODUS Server loopback: User PC -> Apache2 -> NEOSYS service. (Sends request "TEST", which prompts listen program to reply 'OK')
  3. EXODUS application loopback: User PC -> Apache2 -> NEOSYS service -> database. (Sends a SELECT currencies command by default)

Results are to be noted in the installation check list.
