Compare this to the Enterprise platform I am dealing with on a current project, which has 4 x ec2 nodes with 8 CPUs and 32 Gb RAM.

I can DoS it with a single java client running 50 threads. If I use 100 the p95 shoots up to 30 - 40 seconds.

But the kicker is that no one (other than me) really cares. 50 concurrent threads is probably around the peak load it will get in prod, and various people involved think why bother trying to fix it?

It's driving me nuts.

Thanks for listening
