One other thing that also might have impact on these numbers are the
amount of allowed concurrent callers to a service. A simple
dbus "service" only handles one request at the time(at least with
dbus-glib). This greatly simplifies development but also means that if
a method has a processing time of one second you can only handle about
60 requests a minute. A typical hammering test situation on a single
service will show these numbers.
