Figure B-1 Example of a typical response time versus throughput graph
For example, we can compare the performance of a 32-bit but relatively faster CPU (higher
GHz) to a 64-bit but relatively slower speed. The 32-bit relatively faster CPU provides better
response time but with less throughput than the 64-bit relatively slower CPU. The response
time, or the user perspective performance measurement, can be more qualitative than
quantitative, and it can vary considerably, because there are many variables involved.
It is critical to the performance modeler to precisely define what is measured in what
