11.2 Performance
Performance involves minimizing the response time for a given transaction load.
The performance of an application can be measured in terms of latency and
throughput. Latency is the round-trip time between sending a request and
receiving a response while throughput, when related to performance, defines the
number of concurrent transactions that can be accommodated.
A good performance of an application is represented by a higher throughput and
lower latency values. It is important to say that a number of factors relating to
application design can effect performance. Also other factors such as network
environment, messaging and transport protocols, memory, among others.
