By looking at the average number of page views per user per month and the average page load time, I was able to develop an estimate of the total hours the US population wastes each year due to slow web application performance.
This handy tool loads a page from four locations around the world and provides both averageload times and a wealth of detail on how long each page element takes to load.
Since a broker, if one is involved, receives a fee from the mutual fund instead of charging a load, this could be causing average fees to rise (loads are not included in most expense ratios).
Given a 60 percent load capacity on average (again, to avoid hot spots), our example would yield an averageof 13 physical servers per rack (assume 42u racks) and 520 physical servers.
