Benchmarking system performance

[Alan Gale]

        Hello:

      I am gathering information on guidelines or standards 
      to follow in establishing performance benchmarks for 
      networked resources such as web-based library catalogues 
      or bibliographic databases. 

      I'd like to be able to come up with a series of searches 
      to run, on an ongoing basis, and some standard to compare 
      the response times to.   

      If anyone has any reports or other publications they could
      refer me to or experience to relate, I'd be pleased to hear
      from you. 

      Thanks for your assistance.
