stress testing

[Su Li]

Hi,

I am runing two scripts, one sends emails to cyrus, the other does selection
and fetch the email. I run into a lot of problems. You can search for su li
-- my name too find the problems that I have :).

Subject: stress testing


Before going production with a new server I would like to do some stress
testing esp wrt locking problems. A quick search of the archives and at
Google shows that people have been looking for scripts etc. but there is
no standard open-source test/stress suite and nobody so far posted their
scripts.

Before I start creating my own scripts, I would welcome pointers to work
I may have missed and/or advice. For instance, there is a claim in
comp.mail.imap message <63bde6$krb at engnews1.Eng.Sun.COM> that a perl
script will not be fast enough to really stress a decent server... I
find that hard to believe.

Thanks in advance,
Hein
