<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'>I think there are 3 main problems.<br>
<br>
1) The core developers should not be blowing their own horn about performance
results in any official capacity because it will appear skewed to skeptics.<br>
2) The core developers are too busy to bother with gathering the stats.<br>
3) 9.9/10 newcomers who try to do load testing get it wrong somewhere and we
spend a month dealing with them on the list etc.<br>
<br>
It sort of like if someone offered FREE CARS, take one and drive away and do
whatever you want with it.<br>
People show up and say, "how fast can it go?" "how well does it
handle on curves?" .. I don't know it's a FREE CAR, go drive it and you
tell me.<br>
<br>
I think some people forget this is an open source project and it's up to the
community to decide for themselves how well it works.<br>
<br>
I would love to find a way to save us all the time of dealing with people who
try to load test first and try real calls later.<br>
<br>
The industry standard for calls is 50cps which is assuming a typical load of
25cps burst-able to 50 to cover a fault in a cluster.<br>
<br>
Most people doing 50cps all day long should be making so much money they can
either afford nicer boxes or more expensive equipment if<br>
they need to scale more.<br>
<br>
FS can handle this load easily and many people tune their box to do triple that
if not even more but that is all subjective to their<br>
hardware choices etc.<br>
<br>

Yes there are strategies. You definitely want a professional to assist if this
is a serious production environment. There are members of the FS community who
do this sort of thing, or you could email <a

get assistance from the core FS developers.<br>
