This benchmark can provide you with a relevant measure of your hard disk subsystem, which is frequently the bottleneck of a ]po[ installation.
In order to execute the benchmark, please open up a Linux shell (or Windows Cygwin) and type:
# cd ~/packages/ # time find . -type f -exec grep -il asdfasdfsadf {} \;
The ~/packages/ folder contains about 33.000 files (find . -type f | wc -l).
A benchmark below 100s indicates that you will be able to run 2-3 "concurrent users" or 5-15 "currently connected users" in your ]po[ installation.
Values above 200s will produce unsatisfactory user experience even in small installations.
