Rest query performance benchmark

Hello,

I searched on Google but couldn't manage to find any benchmark showing the performance of the REST API when querying a layer (I'm not interested by exportMap).

Did Esri published any document showing the time response and scalability of the query operation on Arcgis 10? I know it depends on many parameters (data storage solution, hardware, network...), but it would be nice to have some examples.

Thanks in advance

galigeo,

The only document that comes to mind for me is Esri's whitepaper for creating a web mapping application for municipal/local government:

http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/creating-arcgisserver-web-mapping.pdf

Starting on page 21 is an interesting comparison of a Geoprocessing task workflow with a REST query-based workflow.  There is some throughput information that may be useful - the hardware, the query, and the data are all quite well defined so it works as sort of a benchmark.

This is for ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, not for 10.  I don't know what performance difference (if any) there is between those two versions with respect to querying the REST endpoint unfortunately.
