In previous posts we’ve talked about Goose, and Gaggles, and how they work. Running Goose for an actual client load test is the true test of its use and, like any software, one of the best ways to find out where additional improvements can be made.

For example, when a Goose "user" requests a web page, it's blocked until the server responds. Without Async, Goose blocks an entire CPU core while waiting for that response. With Async, Goose makes the request, then gives up the core (ie, sleeps) allowing another "user" to make a request with that same core...

DrupalCon Global Revisited:

Peta Hoyes, COO, and Fabian Franz, Vice President of Software Engineering, of Tag1 Consulting discuss how teams are working collaboratively in real time and asynchronously more than ever before.
