Figure 7. Dual CPU performance comparison.
This data again illustrates the increased power of the Pentium Pro processor with 32-bit
Windows NT applications. It also demonstrates the benefit of large L2 cache in the
Pentium/133 and /166 CPUs (as opposed to the smaller cache in Pentium/100 CPUs.)
The overall indication is that 1500 users is about the practical upper limit for tests using this
LoadSim user profile. Over 1500 users the response time exceeds three seconds.
