stress test question

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hi,

I'm stress testing ASP.Net application, running on quad 3.1GHz Xeon with 2GB
RAM server, using ACT.

The problem is that I can't get more the ~40 RPS. The server CPU usage is
10-15% and the request queue is always 0. I keep on reading people getting
150 - 250 RPS.
First I thought it is the limitation of the client running ACT, so I have
started it from 2 clients. The result was that each one was getting ~20 RPS.

So, the question is where do I look for the bottleneck?

Regards
Eli

Could the bottleneck be your network bandwidth?
Perhaps you should explore such settings in performance monitor.
