In some cases, you will lack benchmarking capabilities. For example, real-user monitoring metrics might reveal a user performance issue that you can then apply to synthetic testing to replicate the issue by exercising the same transaction across several different variables. RUM generates a lot of data. The bottom line?

These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

A micro-benchmark suite, LEBench was then built around tee system calls responsible for most of the time spent in the kernel. On the exact same hardware, the benchmark suite is then used to test 36 Linux release versions from 3.0 It adds overhead to tests that exercise the kernel memory controller, even when cgroups aren’t being used.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Create a baseline to measure against Repeat this exercise periodically – perhaps monthly, or semi-annually, or after a deploy where you've made a number of performance improvements – and compare the correlation charts over time.

We track LEGO.com, along with a handful of other leading ecommerce sites, in our public-facing Retail Benchmarks dashboard , which I encourage you to check out. A couple of things worth noting: All of the sites in the leaderboard sites are pretty speedy, so this is NOT a name-and-shame exercise. Those are already big wins.
