I've often wondered if the PeopleSoft community can learn anything about optimising or validating our PeopleSoft infrastructure environments by gathering PeopleSoft Ping data from other users. So, I figured let's gather some data and start a discussion. I've created a Google Form to gather some basic and anonymous data. The data gathered is anonymous and will only be used for the purposes of community discussion around optimising infrastructure.
Please post questions, ideas and general infrastructure performance and optimisation comments against this blog post.

Would it also be useful to include additional details such as Application (HCM, FSCM, CS, etc), Version (9.1, 9.2, etc), infrastructure details (number of app servers/domains, number of web servers/domains)?

Core performance is key because a single application server transaction will consume as much of 1 and only 1 core as it can. So, the faster that core is the faster the transaction will run. Adding more cores will not make individual transaction times run faster. Adding more cores may help with high user throughput.
This is a useful tool for comparing CPU performance. http://cpuboss.com/compare-cpus
for example... http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-X5570-vs-Intel-Xeon-E3-1230
>>what could you concluded if you compare 2 infrastructures using the PSPING tool ?
Great question. Here's where I'm coming from. If my Ping result for my web server is 0.9 and someone else reports one as low as 0.009 then I'd like to have some kind of discussion around how to make mine faster. With so many layers of technology between the user and PeopleSoft data it becomes a complex matter to do comparisons. However, there may be some obvious things that contribute to improving performance and PSPing may or may not tease that out.
To improve this topic, I think you shoud add a column with only Web + App + Db (and not network).
This would help to understand which scenarion is the best out of the list ?
