Figure 3 shows a graph of the WebBench requests per second results for the test server. This graph illustrates
the server’s performance under load for each of the 16 client mixes. As the number of clients increases, so does
the load on the server and the number of requests per second the server must perform. During the first couple of
mixes, the client count is low, so the server can handle the load with capacity to spare. As the load increases,
however, the server reaches its maximum capacity and the processor utilization becomes 100 percent (or very
close to that). The curves below peak and flatten at those points. A higher peak indicates better performance.

performance.
