Talk about embarassing - maybe the store will have better performance now

I went out on my pure curiosity phase to see how long it would take for the store to load. Not too bad - about normal.

well, what I didn't notice is that the load script I was working on recorded me going there and put it into the run.

I've been troubleshooting an issue for the last 15 minutes on why my script was failing (as that is a rare occurance with me [img]wink.gif[/img] ) and I just found it.

I had 5000 virtual users trying to load the store page at 5 second intervals.

SHIT - that was a mistake [img]redface.gif[/img]

yeah - the Spawn Store. I wondered how bad it was getting hammered.

I was only doing it for 10 minutes of the 15 that I was troubleshooting the issue, but still...... [img]redface.gif[/img]

All the sports boarders are up in arms with server performance. First time I guess they ever really had to deal with a crunch like that to order from the store
