I work in a small development company that uses Caché as a database. In some support cases I have doubts about whether the client's infrastructure environment is not affecting Caché's response time. Reading a bit about comparing installations in different environments, both in production as testing and homologation environments , I understood that the TPC-E is a benchmarking method accepted in the market.I'm reading the specifications of the TPC-E and I wonder if anyone has implemented or seen something similar in Caché. Does it make sense to think about using this type of test to understand

Has anyone ever worked with a load balance for ECP servers access? If yes, wich one? 

What are the pros and cons of such a solution? We use ECP servers as data servers via ODBC, thanks!
