[Modeling-users] Working on a 'bench' script

[Sebastien B. <sbi...@us...>]

        Hi all,

  Following Mario's original idea, I'm currently working on a script for
  keeping track of the time spent on particular actions of the
  framework, in particular situations. The script will be added in the
  tests/, and the results will be publicly announced for each new
  version. As Mario wrote:

  (for the curious, I'm using python2.3's new module timeit)

  I have already added these:

    - addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey (toMany)
    - addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey (toOne)
    - fetching Persons (5000 simple objects)
    - fetching a raw row
    - fetching 5000 simple raw rows
    - fetching 5000 raw rows when all objects are modified

  Given what was already tried and reported here, I'll also add:

    - refetching Persons (5000 simple objects) after they all have been
      loaded,
    - fetching 5000 raw rows when all objects are already fetched
    - building qualifiers from strings (qualifierWithQualifierFormat)
    - clearing the toMany faults on 5000 objects,
    - batch-fetching toMany faults for 5000 objects (when this is added
      in the core)

  I will also add the same tests for fetches, with more complex objects
  (say, with 10 attributes+PK+FK)

  Do you have in my mind additional situations you'd like to be tracked?
