RE: Regarding the multi threading option in curl loader

[SAJAL B. <s.b...@qu...>]

Hi , 

I have already read this but I wanted to know if there is any theoretical maximum for my specifications. And secondly I am not sure why the documentation says that if you have N core machine then for multi-threading it should either be -t N or -t 2 N. I have done a test on a dual core machine and specified -t 6 and it worked so where does -t 2 N comes from ?

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

 1.  For a machine with one dual core Xeon processor and  4 GB of memory what is the theoretical maximum as the maximum number of clients (each with different IP address) ?
 2.  While running curl loader in the above mentioned environment (2 core processor and 4 GB of memory) why can the multi threading option be only be -t 2 or -t 4 ? Can I use something like -t 3 or -t 5 or something of this sort ?
