| We did some performance testing on a set of 2 machines to pick up sets of
10000 or 100000 small documents. We discovered that the memory usage of the
two servers are relatively low. However, the Pages/sec counter (performance
counter) went through the roof with one server reading and average of 80
pages/sec and the other 23p/s. The server that picked up the most documents
is the one with a higher value. The second server seems to be the one that
did the most processing of documents. Both these servers are dual CPU with
2GB of memory.
My question is, should BizTalk 2004 be configured in a special way to make
use of all the memory? The memory counters indicate that virtually no memory
was being used during the processing. The documents processed was small flat
files and only the messaging engine was used (no orchestrations)
The following are some stats from the tests:
TOTAL SECS 2265 sec
TOTAL DOCS 100028 docs
DOCS/SEC 44.1626
SEC/DOC 0.02264
QA1 Pages/sec 80.8166
QA1 Mem avail 1.70775 Gb
QA2 Pages/sec 23.4817
QA2 Mem avail 1.82955 Gb
QA1 Proc % 41.8877 (Receive and process)
QA2 Proc % 10.6107 (Process)
