With all the discussion (blog posts, whitepapers,...) about how fast Magento 1 is compared to Magento 2 we should come up with our own simple and open load test suite.
The idea is to create a tool that allows to automatically provision "normalized" environments (e.g. on AWS EC2), install Magento 1/2 including sample data and run a simple, but not too simple test suite (e.g. with JMeter).
This way we have a fair and neutral apple-to-apple comparison, that can be reproduced and easily turned into a continuous load test.
Here's an attempt of getting started with this (including installing Oro Commerce - and realizing that this might turn into an apple-to-oranges comparison at that point): https://github.com/AOEpeople/EcomBench
