Benchmark SharePoint Performance
By Mike G (6 posts -- read other by posts Mike G)
The Microsoft SharePoint team just released a tool they had been using internally for measuring and benchmarking SharePoint performance. Called “CopyTimer”, it simply uploads and downloads three different files, and records the stats to a list.
Download the tool (and/or the source code!) from its’ CodePlex site:
http://www.codeplex.com/sptoolbox/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=8366
There is a config file that needs to be set up, but there’s not much to do other than to specify the address of the SP Site and document library. Personally, I was viewing initial test results within five minutes of downloading the tool:
Of course, like any benchmarking tool, it doesn’t help to only run it once. So either run it at intervals thoughout the day, or copy the tool (and the config file that you’ve already set up) to other machines to get a picture of performance from different network locations.
