Magma is the right choice?

[Chris Muller]

Hi Facundo,

    ((20000 * 100) / 365.0) =  5479.45205479452 "transactions" per day, average

So it "sounds" like light-duty, but of course it may not be.  How many
objects in a "transaction"?  At http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5606 you
can see,

  oneThousandElementArrayOfObjectsRead : 40.66985645933014 per second.

so if you need more than 40000 objects per second, I would say the
answer is "no".

But of course, this is just for one server, you might want to do HA
anyway if you are suporting that many customers.

It also depends on if you're running that old Cog on MY laptop:

Hardware Details:
	computer : Lenovo T60p
	cpu :  Intel Core2Duo
	speed :  2.0GHz
	memory :  2GB
	disk :  internal SATA

OS Details:
	osVersion : linux-gnu
	platformName : unix
	platformSubtype : i686

Vm Details:
	vmVersion : Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker-oscog.11]

Which is why, and I hope you won't mind my saying; I normally don't
care to address these sorts of questions.  It depends on hundreds
variables, many of which are related to how the application is
written...

Before doing any load testing, I strongly recommend using the latest
code available on MagmaTester.
