I am trying to write a script whose effectiveness I am trying to measure. I have a couple of questions: -
- For small applications, does such profiling require? Or am I getting paranoid? (assuming most code is decently efficient / without endless loops)
- Against what should I check? What to compare with?
- The following is a performance result obtained from ab. Is this too much? Am I heading in the wrong direction while developing this application? Are there any warning signals I should be aware of?
abs -n10000 -c100 http: // localhost / testapp

I am using PHP to write a script. During further testing, I also found that "Failed requests" becomes 0 if I comment on part of the MySQL connection from my PHP script. What's wrong? How to reduce this failure rate?
Thanks Alec
