Performance profile allows for faster than usual responses in Traffic Parrot.
To enable the performance profile:Here is a list of configuration parameters for tuning Traffic Parrot Native IBM® MQ.

Please keep in mind that Traffic Parrot performance depends on:This benchmark demonstrates how hardware resources, network parameters and complexity of virtual services (mocks/stubs) impact Traffic Parrot version 5.12.0 performance for a few sample scenarios. In one example, we show how we improve from 6,000 TPS to 20,000 TPS by increasing the hardware resources and network capacity. In another example, we show that the complexity of the virtual services (mocks/stubs) results in the difference between 1,000 TPS and 6,000 TPS when running on the same hardware and network.

Same as “16 vCPUs - 12GB heap - 10 Gb/s network” above but:
Here is a Traffic Parrot 3.10.0 performance test result to give you a rough idea what you can expect.
The test was performed on a Heztner EX41S-SSD server:Both the test suite and Traffic Parrot were both running on the same server, so both using the same server resources but there was no network latency.
If these numbers are not enough for you, please contact us and we will suggest a setup that will allow for higher performance.| Protocol tested | Number of parallel users | Total number of transactions | Mappings | Total test duration | Transaction throughput | Average transaction time |
