Performance tests with the amsessiondb client include this criteria:
The approximate number of operations on the Berkeley DB was two times the number of authentications per second.
Tests were conducted with the following configuration:
Write data – 3 Kbytes
Duration – 1 minute
Berkeley DB cache size – 28 Mbytes (default cache size in Access Manager 7 2005Q4 is 32 Mbytes)
The following table shows the results of the tests.
