We're looking for representative Drupal 4.5.2 databases that we can use for benchmarking purpose. We favor (a) largish databases (b) that continue to work in absence of contributed/custom modules.
We'll upgrade one or more databases to Drupal 4.6/HEAD to compare performance of Drupal 4.5 with Drupal 4.6/HEAD.
If you want to help, or if you have a database to share, let us know within the next few hours. (We only have access to these benchmark machines for a few days.)
Any recommendations for benchmark tools (that run on Linux) are much appreciated as well.
