Hi,
I have a fairly complicated script that seems to load fairly fast. But
that's because it is on my local server in the office and not on the main
one, (and I am the only one on it).
So I would like to run some tests, for example how long the pages take to
load on average and what load it place on the server.
Currently the pages load very fast indeed, but I suspect it is because I am
the only one on the server and php/MySQL are not working that hard...
Are there any ways to check that the script is within 'acceptable' limits?

I think you might be pleasantly surprised when you move the script from
your local server to a production server; then again, for many years my
local server was a Pentium 75.. :) You can time the execution of your
script like this:
<?php
function getmicrotime(){
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
$start = getmicrotime();
//
//Insert all of your code here.
//
$finish = getmicrotime();
$latency = sprintf("%.2f", $finish - $start);
echo "<hr>This script took $latency seconds to execute.";
?>
The result is not perfectly accurate, but it's close enough, down to the
tenth of a second or so. If you're not satisfied with the run time, you
could break it down further, calculating a separate $start, $finish, and
$latency for various code blocks to isolate the bottleneck.
As for CPU load, just run a `top` session in a shell (assuming you're on
a unix server), hit the S key, hit the 1 key, hit Enter. top will refresh
once per second and you can see if there's a load spike when your script
executes. Note that top itself will generally cause load to go up.

Hi,
Thanks for the code, but I guess what I was asking is 'how long is too
long'?.
Currently my code takes 0.30s to 0.42s to produce a page, (again on the
local server with no one else working on it).
Is that too much?
Is there an app 'out there' that would put some load on my server? I don't
feel like writing a once off app to do that for me.
Simon
It is impossible to give a straight answer to, "how much processing
load is 'too much'?". It all depends on your situation.
You might find the following info helpful to determine your current
limits, but you will have to analyze for yourself whether or not that
limit is within an acceptable range for your application. http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/programs/ab.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html - This one is
geared toward perl/CGI development, but it still has some useful info
that will apply for PHP.

"Too long" is very subjective. If your script is adding 5 plus 4, 0.30
seconds is slow to average. If your script is computing the human genome,
0.42 seconds is NSA fast. As I presume you're doing something more
realistic, I'll say that half a second is nothing. Less than half a
second is less than nothing.
At that rate, it will take your server more time to send the document to
your visitor over the wire than to execute the code. Unless you're
expecting to be the next Google, Amazon, or Yahoo, you should be just
fine. Try it on the production server and see how long it takes there,
with other processes happening. Runtime will probably be the same, if not
better.
As for putting load on your server, if you're using Apache, try the "ab"
Apache Benchmark tool. If you compile Apache yourself, I believe it's
built by default, check out the "bin" directory under your Apache
install, and look for "ab." If it's there, run it with no arguments to
see its help. It's rather versatile and is good at loading one URL over
and over and over hundreds of times in a row.

I created an image gallery which displays 63 images in a slideshow. The
problem is that the show was slow because each image loaded one at a time
during the show. No problem right? I just did a preload script. But then the
user has to sit for 5 minutes waiting for 63 images to download! My images
are about 640x480 and average 100kb. Is this too much for one page to load?
Should I load my slideshow into differerent windows? If so,...

Hi all,
I'm having a little problem understanding the concepts of dynamically
loading/unloading user conrols:
1. If I have a couple of usercontrols embedded within a few tables cells on
my page, setting the usercontrol's visible to false still fires the
Page_Load event. Isn't this unnecessary overhead when it doesn't even show
in my page.
